In this video, contributing editor Mike Guertin explains the four different classes of miter-saw-stands and the benefits of each. He also highlights important parts of each stand, and which models—well—stand out.

Mike and Rick Arnold also rated miter-saw-stands in the article 6 Great Miter-Saw Stands from the August/September 2007 issue of Fine Homebuilding. Their reviews of several stands from that article are only available online, in the magazine tie-in titled More Miter-Saw Stands Reviewed.
