Table Saw Stands

About Table Saw Stands

Table saw stands provide essential stability and support for both portable and benchtop table saws, transforming them into safe, professional-grade workstations. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks a comprehensive range of table saw stands from leading manufacturers including Bosch Professional, DeWalt, Makita, Einhell, and Draper. Whether you need a lightweight folding stand for site work or a robust wheeled stand for workshop use, our selection caters to both professional tradespeople and serious DIY enthusiasts.

Available in various configurations including rolling leg stands, scissor leg stands, and dedicated benchtop models, these stands are designed to match specific table saw models or offer universal compatibility. Many feature quick-release mechanisms for rapid setup and breakdown, adjustable height settings for operator comfort, and integrated wheels for easy transportation between jobs.

Applications

Table saw stands are essential equipment for:

• Carpenters and joiners requiring portable cutting solutions on construction sites
• Shopfitters needing stable platforms for precision cutting work
• Kitchen fitters cutting worktops and cabinetry components
• Furniture makers working in workshops with limited floor space
• General builders cutting timber, board materials, and composite sheets
• DIY enthusiasts undertaking home renovation and woodworking projects
• Mobile workshops and contractors working across multiple locations

Choosing The Right Table Saw Stands

When selecting a table saw stand from MyToolShed.co.uk, consider these key factors:

• Compatibility: Ensure the stand matches your table saw model. Dedicated stands like the Bosch GTA series are designed for specific saws, whilst universal stands offer broader compatibility.
• Portability: Rolling leg stands with large wheels suit contractors moving between sites, whilst folding scissor leg stands offer compact storage and lighter weight.
• Weight capacity: Check the maximum load rating to ensure it safely supports your table saw plus workpiece materials.
• Working height: Adjustable height stands allow customisation for operator comfort and different working positions.
• Stability: Look for wide stance designs and robust steel construction for vibration-free cutting.
• Setup speed: Quick-release mechanisms enable faster assembly and breakdown on busy job sites.
• Material supports: Some stands include extendable side supports for handling longer workpieces safely.

Safety Information

Always ensure your table saw stand is positioned on level, stable ground before use. Verify all locking mechanisms are fully engaged and the saw is securely mounted according to manufacturer instructions. Check the stand's weight capacity is sufficient for your table saw and workpiece combined. Regularly inspect stands for wear, damage, or loose fixings, particularly after transportation. When using wheeled stands, ensure all castors are locked before operating the saw. Electrical connections should use appropriate 240v power supplies with RCD protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are table saw stands universal or model-specific?

Both types are available. Manufacturer-specific stands like those from Bosch Professional and DeWalt are engineered for precise fitment with particular saw models, offering optimised stability and quick-release mounting. Universal stands provide broader compatibility but may require additional brackets or modifications for secure attachment.

What's the difference between rolling and scissor leg stands?

Rolling leg stands feature large wheels for easy site-to-site transportation and typically offer greater stability with a wider footprint. Scissor leg stands fold more compactly for van storage and are generally lighter, making them ideal for tradespeople with limited transport space who prioritise portability over maximum stability.

Can I use a table saw stand outdoors?

Yes, table saw stands can be used outdoors provided they're positioned on firm, level ground. However, ensure your 240v power supply is protected by an RCD, and avoid using electrical equipment in wet conditions. Store stands in dry conditions when not in use to prevent corrosion and maintain structural integrity.
