This item actually exceeded my expectations in quality and simplicity. After using several generic stands with my MK-101, it was nice to have a stand that fit the saw "like a glove" with absolutely no modifications. The casters are good quality (not industrial quality) and both have good quality locks (again, not industrial quality, but much better than what I've seen in an average stand). Once locked, the stand is surprising stable. The stand is pretty much "Idiot Proof," there is only one way to set the saw and it isn't going anywhere once secured. The saw is secured by one simple metal strap and knurl nut taking only a few seconds. As a pleasant bonus, the stand came completely assembled. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it is overpriced...even at about 130 bucks.

I had ordered this for one of our Professors at UCSD Structural Engineering department. He needed this item right away and it arrived in promptly, for the professor to start his project.
