  • 18-Inch Material Capacity - Highest capacity among fully portable units
  • 8-Inch Pneumatic Wheels - ease of transport over jobsite terrain
  • Rapid Release Tool Mounts - fits most competitors' miter saws
  • Adjustable Leveling-Feet - Stability on uneven surfaces
The Bosch TB4 gravity-rise miter saw stand features the patented gravity rise system, and rapid set up and breakdown. It has an 18-inch material capacity which is the highest capacity among fully portable units. It has 8-inch pneumatic wheels which facilitate ease of transport over jobsite terrain. It also features rapid release tool mounts, adjustable leveling feet for stability on uneven surfaces and it also fits most competitors' miter saws. Bosch expanded its patented and award-winning technology to develop and introduce the new Gravity-Rise T4B Portable Miter Saw Stand. Smart, durable and simple to use, professionals never need to worry about how to setup or carry their miter saw ever again. The T4B features the same Bosch-patented Gravity-Rise system as the industry's award winning TS2000 Gravity-Rise Table Saw Stand. Unlike other miter saw stands, the Bosch Gravity-Rise system is practically effortless and allows for rapid set-up and breakdown in seconds. With a simple turn of the release lever and the user's guidance, the weight and balance smoothly raises the heavy-gauge steel and aluminum constructed stand and saw into working position. Set the leveling feet for uneven terrain and professionals are ready to get to work. Turn the same release lever again, and the entire stand folds into a push cart design, complete with 8-inch pneumatic wheels, perfect for transporting the saw over rough terrain from one location to the next. The T4B utilizes an aluminum support rail and special Universal Rapid-Release Tool Mounts designed to attach to the base of all Bosch and most competitors' miter saws. These mounts allow any user to quickly attach or detach the saw to the stand. And rubber feet prevent scratches when placing the tool on a cabinet top or bench. The same support rails expand for 18-feet total material support, the highest among fully portable units. For users cutting long pieces of molding or flooring, this kind of support is priceless. Adjustable repetitive stops and table supports also allow the stand to adapt to varying applications and saws.
