Universal Mount Protocol Equipment Contractor Miter Saw Workstation

Scott H: Got this for my Hitachi 12" sliding compound miter saw. It is a large heavy saw and this stand holds it very well. It is a bit awkward to fold the legs while the saw is attached, but it can still be done very carefully. I expected this going into it as I don't move it around often. If I used this for work I would definitely have gotten a stand made to collapse easier, but this one is perfect for me. Looks pretty good too even though it doesn't really match my black and green saw. No regrets!

Kenneth webster: The whole package was damaged, parts broken, and the wheel bracket did not fit, called the manufacturer and was told no available parts, just send it back to amazon

Mick: Very nice small portable stand. I put my DeWalt 12" compound saw on it and it's great. I like the wheels and it makes moving it around nice. I'm a contractor and have been using this for a couple months now and it's holding up just fine. Also, this stand has the same size rails as a ryobi, so we can interchange our saws if need be.

edmocon: I am a contractor and first I want to say that I got rid of my 12 inch sliding mitre saw and purchased a cordless 7.25 sliding mitre saw and got this stand. It is a really nice stand and has quite a few good features the best being how compact it is. It is very sturdy and really my only complaint is it is very heavy like as heavy as the really long yellow and black ones. I was going for size in the back of my truck and so it does the job but it is heavy.

Yo Mack: So UPS managed to send me a box so torn up I wondered if it was all inside. IT was and the clamps had a broken handle. I sent an Email to corperate and within 30 minutes they responded. On the following business day they had replacement shipped. It finally arrived after UPS (again) sat on it for 4 extra days.
It assembled with ease and seems very solid. It moves around with no trouble and is at a good working height. I'm finally going to get to safely use it this weekend.

iusconoclasta: Tenía dudas porque en México Protocol no es una marca conocida. Sin embargo, al ver el producto inmediatamente me di cuenta que es de buena calidad. Se siente robusto, fuerte y con mucha firmeza para cargar mi sierra de inglete Milwaukee.
También la ocupo para mi sierra de corte o chop saw Makita (para corte de metales) y la soporta muy bien. Eso sí, tuve que adquirir la mesa o plato que vende por separado Protocol para ajustar otro tipo de sierras o incluso cepilladoras.
Es fácil de ensamblar, transportar y guardar, pues una vez que lo doblas lo puedes poner hasta debajo de la cama.

Le he quitado una estrella principalmente porque sólo te permite hacer cortes repetidos en material de hasta 2m de largo (77in). Puedes cortar material más largo, pero para cada corte tendrás que medir. Ahora bien, quizá parezca injusto porque esto es algo que advierte la marca y, para ello, ofrece otra mesa para cortes de hasta 3.10m (124in). Pero creo que en vez de haber dos productos, debería ser sólo uno y con la posibilidad de poner la extensión para pasar de 77in a 124in. Si hubiera estado disponible en México la de 124in, seguramente la hubiera preferido en lugar de...

GEA: Like robotecks (see his review), I just received my stand with the same pieces missing. No MA-0116 (longer) mounting brackets, and no outlets included (even tho there is an opening in the end of the stand to accommodate them). The stand is unusable and will need to be returned if not corrected.

Update 8/26/2017: Have worked with Protocol representative (Lindsey) with all concerns addressed, and parts replaced. In the end, it is an excellent stand and supports my 12" Ryobi compound sliding miter saw very nicely. Several of the threaded holes were a bit coarse (not milled well) which created minor damage to the thread on a knob handle, but that was replaced immediately. The electrical outlet is only available on the professional model, but after having used the stand, it would have little use anyway.

To address another comment, the legs next to the wheels can be stored first so stand can be wheeled with saw attached, but it's easier to remove a heavy power tool (mine weighs close to 40#). If you have a relatively smooth floor, cupped furniture sliders work quite well.

Overall, it is a very good stand at a good price with excellent customer service.
