Milwaukee Miter Saw Stand 48-08-0551 Review

We were impressed with the improvements made to this new stand. We'd like to see Milwaukee give the leg end-caps another look, but the biggest improvement to this stand can be achieved by improving the locking knobs. All of the knobs, on this stand, are cheap plastic thumb knobs. All the manufacturers use them and if Milwaukee wants to stand apart from their competitors they should consider all metal, aluminum knobs, or better yet levers.  At a minimum Milwaukee should be using a lever for the material support arms lock.

Overall Impression

Do I recommend this stand? The answer is a definite yes! I currently use the older version of this stand and was actively looking for a replacement, in fact I was eying Dewalt miter saw stand. This new stand is a definite improvement for Milwaukee and one that will now replace my older design.
