Summary: Nothing outstanding here
Comment: This saw stand has over the last year been more and more of a dissapointment. As my peers have noticed the outriggers can not be leveled with the saw table... I repeat... CAN NOT be leveled... there is no adjustment available or possible... saw is too heavy for the table and this was the table suggested by Hitachi... when you grab that saw there is sway and motion back and forth. I can't help but wonder if this would be hazordous.

Summary: Could be better
Comment: I've had the stand for more than a year and have grown increasingly disappointed. I'm using it w/a Makita LS1214L which is a little big but regardless the stand has inherent problems. The locking base has a tendancy to unlock during transport. The more you move it around, the greater the chance the saw will detach. The support rests can be difficult to level with the saw table making intricate trim cuts somewhat of a problem. Finally, the wheel base is now bent from rolling the saw around.
All-in-all, the stand is stable when in use but you have to be extra careful when in transport. If you wish to detach the saw everytime you relocate it, then the stand is acceptable. However, there are better compound miter saw stands in this price range.

Summary: Hitachi Miter Saw Stand
Comment: Overall I am pretty happy with this product. I am not very happy with the extension arms, not level to working table of chopsaw, a little to flimsy when adjusted to the height needed! For on site work, you can make it work!

Comment: Very sturdy and versatile while at the same time being compact and transportable if needed. Seems a bit overpriced, however.

Summary: UU610CZ vs UU610, T3, T3B
Comment: Be aware that the model sold at Lowe's for $159 is the UU610CZ, a "little bother" model to the UU610. The beam is shorter, it cannot accept an "extension stop," and it DOES NOT INCLUDE THE ROLLER FENCE AND STOP. It is a "price point" model designed to sell for around $150. It does, however, include the wheel kit.
Note also that this is a "universal" miter stand, and can accomodate any size and any brand of miter saw, not just 12" and not just Hitachi.
I'm giving 4 stars because at only $30-$40 less than the UU610, unless you just don't need the capacity or the roller fence and stop, and you do need the wheels, it doesn't seem like as good a value as the UU610, T3B, or T3.
The Hitachi UU610, Bosch T3B, and TracRac T3 are all made by TracRac and are exactly the same basic stand, differing only in COLOR (green, blue, or black) and in which accessorias are included. ALL are "universal" stands, and include identical saw mounts.
The T3 includes an extension, extension flip stop, and wheel kit. If you want "everything," this is the best value vs. buying one of the other two stands and purchasing the accessories.
The T3B includes the wheel kit but not the extension stop (although TracRac customer support says it does include the extension, just not the stop, but this doesn't make any sense, and the extension is not shown in any of the pictures).
The UU610 does not include the extension stop or the wheel kit. It does include a 'stop' that attaches to one of the roller fence rollers.
