Just bought this. Can't mount it to my miter stand/Hitachi made the mounting holes on the saw offset! Maddening... Help?

My saw stand had a set of off-set brackets to accommodate the Hatachi saw. I don't like it but the other option is to mount the saw on a plywood base and mount the base. Ed

The stand comes with 2 mounting brackets that you bolt your saw to. As long as the mounting holes on your saw are not closer than 8 1/2 inches from each other you won't have to modify anything. So yes it should work with your saw.

you seem to be missing a part. the saw assembly and hook should have a black plastic tailpiece attached that fits right into the pole and snaps in just like a pole extension. the screw that goes through the head base connects the tailpiece that fits right into the pole

Yes it will - I have the Hitachi 10" Compound Mitre Saw and it attaches using 2 brackets supplied with stand.

Call the company. They actually make a special chain for this saw. I found that out the hard way.

I used it for a Hitachi C10FSB. It works fine but I had to mount the rail clamps on an board since the holes did not align with the saw base.

My husband just unpacked his Hitachi C10FCE2 miter saw and also cannot get clamp lever to move. We can't find anything bolt or screw that needs to be adjusted in order to get this to move. Any suggestions....please?

I would suspect something with the saw. Mine works great with the table saw.

You could buy a $3000 cabinet saw and they all come with cheap miter gauges. Buy an aftermarket one where you can adjust the track to fit the groove. Even better make or buy a sled. Probably the only saw that comes with a decent one is Powermatic but again 4xs the price.

I have the DW713 Compound Miter Saw. It came with two clamps that look very much like the ones pictured. But I would have to have more dimensional data to make sure it would fit with your miter saw. I also ordered the extension kits and the length stop. They are good and heavy duty and work well. I thought the stand was a little pricey so I made my own mobile stand with 12" diameter wheels to move it from one location to another at my house. If you want to furnish your email address I can send a picture of the stand.

I had the same saw, I had to re drill and tap the rails and add supports to the side wings. But it was the best money I spent on a fence, I have since moved it to a 1953 delta unisaw. If you can drill and tap buy it and don't look back!

Not as equipped. I constructed an auxiliary fence that holds the stock at the 45 degrees. It is actually more of an additional table rather than a fence with a strip on the bottom to be placed in the miter slide groove and then I use two small machinist clamps to hold it in place. This saw is much more stable and with far less blade wobble than any other out there. Good luck. If I can be of further assistance just ask.

I couldn't be happier with the saw stand. It's stable, easy to move, and the 'wings' for resting boards really helps. I have Hitachi saw, and used the adjustable brackets (supplied with the stand) to mount my saw. I don't know your dimensions, but if you go to the PortaMate website it may give compatible saws.

There should be a wrench that came with it, usually slide into the back of the saw, there is a holder for it there, make sure the saw is unplugged and unscrew the bolt in the center, using something like a piece of wood to keep the blade from rotating while unscrewing the bolt

Well you've already received 2 responses but for what it's worth I did receive a material clamp with my saw. Similar in design & function as the one I use on my Porter Cable 12". As for any slop or undesirable movement when fully extended I can say that I haven't experienced any problems. If you don't have a bench top to place your saw, I would highly recommend the Dewalt DWX723 Heavy Duty Miter Saw Stand. Easy to set up, you can set up either side for material support or positive stop if you plan on cutting material the same length over & over again. It is absolutely solid & I've been impressed with the design. Hope this helps you. Good Luck.

Don't try it with this piece of crap. You should set the bevel on your circular saw or table saw to 45 degrees, and then run the blade across the wide side of the board. Do not try to set the miter and the bevel of a table saw at the same time, or else one side of your board will push more material through and your blade will bind up.
