POWERTEC Tool Stand with Wheels, Casters & Melamine MDF Table Top, Power Tool Stand for Miter Saw, Drill Press, Belt Sander, Bench Grinder, Band Saw, Scroll Saw, Planer (UT1008V)

I purchased this stand to hold a Skil benchtop drill press and it works as advertised. I also put it on a Harbor Freight-brand Central Machinery Mobile Base. For just over $100 I now have a rolling benchtop drill press. Great value and sturdy build. The assembly was a bit fiddly, though. You don't have to fully tighten any of the hardware until you have it nearly completely assembled so the loose supports made it a bit of a challenge. Overall, this is an excellent tool stand for the price and can be adapted for many uses.

Excellent product. Assembles easily, is sturdy, and holds the weight for its intended use. Only drawback for me being 6/4" is that I would have liked it better if it had another 12" of height. I will buy another one when the requirement for another comes up.

I just assembled my tool stand. It appears to be quite sturdy and nice looking. Assembly was pretty simple but, I have a couple complaints. First, the bottom shelf was too large. I needed to make several cuts on the shelf in order to make it fit. Also, the 1/2 " MDF board provided was not the best material to use. The screws supplied were too long. There weren't any pilot holes drilled to use with the self-piercing screws resulting in a minor blow out on the shelf. I decided to replace the screws with 1" machine bolts and nuts. I needed to drill holes to do this, but it was well worth it. It is a terrific product but could better if these corrections were made.

I ordered a 9" bandsaw and needed a stand. After reviewing several here and from other sellers, I decided on the POWERTEC UT1002 Universal Tool Stand. As I was using it for a bandsaw, I ordered it with the WEN foot switch (glad I did as I love it too). The stand is relatively easy to assemble. As instructed I assembled the 2 longer sides first, leaving the hardware loose. Then attached the brackets for the shorter ends, thus adjoining the long sides. I did use wood glue to join the two top pieces together (hopefully strengthening them also). As I glued them, I used a pair of clamps to keep them together. I didn't have any problems with the included hardware. The two lower shelf pieces, I attached to the rails (there are holes already drilled) using some 10x32 hardware I had. I think that made the legs stiffer than with those pieces loose. After I had it together, I sprayed the top down with polyurethane. The next day I attached the bandsaw. As I wanted to be able to move it around the shop, I used the saw to cut out some scrap wood and attach some casters. I used a set of casters I already had (the kind similar to those on common desk chairs). I'm completely satisfied with the stand and would buy it again. No it might not be suitable for a really heavy tool, but for this bandsaw it's perfect. Great stand for the money; a real value!

I need to previous review of Powerteck. The error was completely mine and I apologize. The table is a very good product and the price is also very good. My problem has been completely resolved and I am a happy camper.H.Statzer

This is the identical product to one I bought from Sears 15 years ago, and have my drill press mounted on.When I realized this new stand was the same, I was most pleased. It’s not difficult to assemble, just a bit ‘wobbly’ until fully assembled.Great product, and the am confident I will get twenty years out of this one as well.I concluded there were not a lot of this type of bench on Amazon.I will be mounting my band saw on this one.The top consists of two halves that can be separated by about 6” if you need a wider table, but don’t mind having a gap in the middle. I’ve never used that feature.

I had difficulty assembling the stand because the 5/16"-18 Nuts & 5/16"-18 x 2" Hex Head Bolts are not standad sizes. The standard minimum width across the flats for a 5/16" nut is 0.489". As you can see from the photo, the supplied nuts are 0.4655" across the flats. The 2" bolt heads are the same. A 1/2" wrench will not work. I used a 12mm wrench & socket to assemble the stand. You also need a 1/2" wrench because the 5/16"-18 x 2-1/2" Hex Head Half Thread Bolts & 5/16"-18 Nylon Lock Nuts are standard size.One 5/16" split lock washer was missing. The washers supplied with the tool stand are smaller and thinner than standard washers.The bolts for the Caster Assembly are too short. They need to be 2-1/4" long, not the 2" bolts supplied. The nuts were difficult to start due to the bolts being too short. You can see from the second photo, the nuts are not full of threads when tight.Tools also needed for assembly are a #3 Phillips Screwdriver for the top screws; the Leveler Assemblies need a 9/16" open-end wrench & 5mm allen wrench to adjust. These are not called out in the assembly instructions.The 5/8" open wrench listed in the instructions doesn't fit anything on my stand.There were minor paint flaws on the shelf.It looks like a study tool stand. I'm going to mount a vise & use it with my knife sharpener. I want to keep the debris from sharpening away from my work area.

It’s sturdy and well made, especially for the very low prices. I have a thickness planer on it and it’s secure and steady. Would have been nice if they included an extra bolt or two. Otherwise, no complaints.
