I got my WEN tool stand today and I really love it.Let's talk assembly:It was fairly easy to assemble, but some of the bolts needed a small love tap with my hammer in order to get them in place. Instructions are pretty good. I made the mistake of initially trying to attach the legs on the inside of the corners, but after some blood and tears I noticed that the picture had them attached on the outside of the corner. (I want to take off half a point, but I can't with how much I love the assembled product). Once assembled it is nice and stable and easy to move.Next, let's talk about attaching tools and stability/maneuverability:First I gotta get this said and over with, sorry WEN, I very much love my DEWALT and Kobalt tools (but I may add some WEN tools now). Ok, with that said, I bought this stand for my 12" Kobalt Miter Saw. I'm getting back into woodworking but I have to delay the refit of my garage due to family health situation. After ordering the stand I got a little worried that my saw was going to be too big but it fits well. The edges do overhang a bit, but that is perfectly ok by me. I did have to drill some new bolt holes in order to attach the saw to the top, but that as easy to do. As toward stability/maneuverability, I love it. I was worried with the front having that one wheel in the middle that it would tip when turning, but it doesn't do that. It is really stable and easy to move.The only thing I wish was that it was an inch higher. It feels low, but I might be ok with that. I'm disabled and sometimes need to sit while working so having this being a bit low might work for me.Overall I highly recommend this stand to others. I'm planning on buying another one for my Rikon (sorry WEN) bandsaw and planer.

This is more than just a tool stand. its a material saver. I run my planer on it and the extension rollers changed unusable snipe to usable snipe. After planing a 6 foot 1X10 on both faces, I ended up with .002 total snipe on both ends. And thats with a 12-1/2" Wen. Without the extensions it was in excess of .008. Anything more than 6 foot and you'll need additional rollers or infeed/outfeed tables.As far as the height of the stand, it aint enough. Gonna have to fix that. Everything in my shop is set at 36 inches. With a stand height of 29 and a planer deck at 32, I'm 4 inches short of being happy. I do like the portability. Beats a 9 foot long dedicated table (preferred, but a space killer).Overall, Wen hit one out of the park with this one. I think I'll keep it.

The good:Love the holes for bolting equipment downFairly easy to build.Instructions have intelligent order of operation for assembly and should be followed. (Pictures mean I didn’t read)Study enough enough for 90lb dewalt planer.The rollers work but have a single knob so they won’t be perfectly level (risk of snipe on planer).The badNo extra hardware so I always ding a minimum half star, but also no hardware shortage and they did include hardware for attaching tools so, kudos!The wheels are meant for flat smooth surfaces. My garage is 124 years only and the cement is not flat and the previous home owner had carpet and puzzle soft flooring. With about 140lbs or so of weight, the cart is worthless if I want to wheel it. I built a caster base. Which fixed problem two:The cart is a bit short for my planer and me. I’m 6’3†and like things taller to start but I think it might be short for most.The shelf is too low for me. With the spacing and the fact I’m mobile, I’ll probably never use, but it adds strength to the structure.No locktight on nuts so they may become loose over time. Plan accordingly.Overall I think it was good value and while it’s definitely not perfect, I think it is great value.

I purchased this to use as a mobile planer/jointer stand. It is perfect for that job. Follow the instructions and assembly is not too bad, and I was able to do it solo. The quality of the stand is very good, and is now a third and even forth hand in my shop. I reccomend this.

This is perfect for my table top planer. I like the feed rollers. I really like the ease of moving this table. Just one press on the foot pedal, and ready to move. Perfect for a small shop.Easy to put together. And very sturdy, I see it lasting years.

Ignore the negative reviews where the poster(s) claim the manufacturing is shoddy and the holes don't line up. In all of those negative reviews which have photos, it can be clearly seen they're assembling the pieces INCORRECTLY. Mario is attempting to attach the top of the leg with the bottom base of the stand - he has it upside down and the holes are different at either end. The poster complaining the welds inside the bottom brackets interfere with the placement of the legs is also incorrect. The legs go on the outside of the brackets not the inside. Again, the pieces will not fit if you put them in the wrong place.I bought 2 of these and they arrived today. Follow the directions. They're decent. Biggest tip: The legs go on the OUTSIDE of the top/bottom assemblies. The directions don't state that, and the photos aren't that great. I assembled the first one (by myself - 1 set of hands) without any difficulty just under an hour. I assembled the second one in about 45 minutes. I'd recommend a FLAT assembly surface, to make it easy. I used a kitchen peninsula counter top being careful not to leave any scratches. Worked like a charm.The stands themselves are sturdy as a rock and the WEN benchtop tools mount perfectly (imagine that). There are plenty of slots on the top to accept mounting hardware in a large variety of positions. I'd wager that your chances to successfully mount other tools from different manufacturers is high.Because of the negative reviews, I was reluctant to make this purchase, but I'm so glad I did. So far, I have nothing but praise for any of my WEN tools. These stands are great.

These are pretty good, solid construction. I bought one for my planer and liked it a lot. My RIDGID planer fits on it pretty well but not all the holes will align. I used a couple of smaller bolts to fit through the smaller holes on my planer to ensure that it was secure. The front wheel swivels and the two rear are fixed so while they are not super maneuverable it’s possible to position them where you need them. I then bought a second one for my mitre saw because I liked the extendable work support arms.These were not too hard to assemble and all the pieces were there and it was well packaged. They are heavy.

very good stand, well made and easy to assemble. the extendable rollers work well to support longer workpieces. I was using this with the dewalt 735 with no issues, I've since returned that planer and intend to use this with the rikon planer**EDIT*** dont pay the ridiculous price of over $300 on amazon canada. this stand retails for $150usd at home depot, and should usually be found for around $250 on amazon canada. the current $450+ asking price is ridiculous.

Nice stand. Assembles easily. Functional and easy to move. Would have been even better if it had thicker gauge top and 4 wheels instead of 3 and slightly lower price. Otherwise, I recommend this stand.

Works great. Only 1 issue with the threads on a locking knob. Was not able to thread it into the nut for the bed extension. Contacted Wen & they had a new knob sent to me in a reasonable period of time that fit perfect. As for the stand, it hold my Dewalt 13" planer very well and the mobility system is great.
