I have a version of the Grizzly G8689 mini mill which weighs about 140lbs. Any thoughts on whether this stand would be a good choice for it?

This is a very sturdy stand- I think it could support 140 lbs without any problem. You will have to drill new holes in the top as the predrilled holes will doubtless be in the wrong position for your mill. The mobile wheel mechanism on the base tilts the table when it is in the moveable position so you will want to be sure to anchor your tool so it doesn't overbalance.

I believe this stand is rated for 300 lbs. You should have no problem. I have a 150 lb. drill press on mine.

I think the stand is sturdy enough to handle more weight than the DW735 planer, which is about 100 lbs. But the height is just over 30", which could be a little short for a mill.

This is a very well built and strong stand. I do not have its capacity, but I'm sure that info is available from Dewalt. I will use this product again when the need arises.

I was going to mount mine on a Grizzly but my winch was in the way. Plus, you would need an additional support bracket because my rack wasn't sturdy enough. I also had to brace the back bracket with some welded pieces.

Don't know. We got rid of this stand and built a custom one. It's difficult to move the stand around because the handle is too short and your feet hit the wheels when walking with it. One other problem with it is that when you extend it to it's highest position, it will not stay put once you have mounted your saw to it. For us, it kept dropping down a couple of inches and would not stay up. We also had a pretty large miter saw mounted on it, maybe with a smaller/less heavy one might do better. I don't know if this is a problem with all of the stands, but it was for us.

My bike is 30 pounds and the stand works very well. It is very well built so I don't think you will have problems.

The stand is designed to safely hold the Bosch portable table saw. I'm sure with a bit of ingenuity someone could adapt it to hold other portable table saws brands.

Howdy Andrew, My shop is a narrow shop and all my power tools, with the exception of my variable speed grinder (pedestal mount) are on wheels (Table saw, band saw, jointer, reciprocating sander, surface planer, dust collector and scroll saw). This allows me to move the power tools to the center of the shop and away from the wall. The DeWalt planer stand is used on my reciprocating sander and my surface planer. The DeWalt stand is heavy duty and capable of supporting over 300 lbs of load. A simple step pad moves the stand up from a sedintary to an elevated position for easy moving and positioning. The DeWalt stand is in my opinion the very best stand for power tools that I have seen or bought. You need to allow for about 1-1/2 hours to assemble the unit, but once it is completed the bolt patterns on the composite wood surface of the stand will take just about any power tool you have. Good luck with your search and evaluation. Best of luck with your woodworking projects Bob of Nevada City, CA

Which Stand did you end up buying? I am looking for decent one that is compatible with this kit. I would greatly appreciate your input.

Jack: I have my table saw mounted on a Hi-Lo folding stand (Porter Cable stand, I think). I made a base for the Steel City planer out of 3/4" plywood and put two 3/4" runners under it which exactly match the miter slots in the table saw top. I then just place the planer on top of the saw (in it's low position) and the runners and weight of the planer hold it very stable. I like this combo, since I'm able to remove and stow it when not in use (I have s small shop!). I saw the other comment and it appears mine was not the first to be used this way! I run 6' and 8' boards through without issue. Bill Jack: I have my table saw mounted on a Hi-Lo folding stand (Porter Cable stand, I think).

35lb sounds bit much for this stand. I would not recommend using it. This is designed to hold reciever and DvD players etc. It's better to call the company directly and ask them same question.

I used 2 12" and one 6" DROs on my Grizzly Mini Mill setup. A 6" or 8" works well on the Y axis. You can use a 12" and cut it down if you want. I had no problems installing these with the brackets provided. I did buy some 10-24 Machine Screws and Drilled and Tapped to attach them to the Mill. Hope this helps. :)

The main difference between the Grizzly model G8689 and the Harbor Freight mini mill is the tool Taper. The G8689 uses a Morris Tapper 3 (MT3) and the next size up of the Grizzly and the Harbor Freight mini mill uses a R8 tapper. The R8 tapper is used on more heavy duty work, the MT3 will work for the Grizzly but try LittleMachineShop.com

I think you should look at the Dewalt table saw stand DW7440RS. This one if for table saws and more stable. You'll need to remove the tube stand from the saw you have to be able to mount it to the rolling stand. Cheaper too just saw it for $154

This stand is made for a table saw, there are other stands that would work better for your saw. I highly recommend the Ridgid miter saw stand, it's easier to fold up and move around.

Yes! Most any heavy duty light stand seem to work well. Use a sand bag for exta stability.

I am considering to buy a XBR4 46" myself and I had a conversation with circuit city associates on this topic. I agree with Cheryl. As long as the stand could sustain 84lbs, you guys are good to go.

Should be good- most stable portable stand I've owned. Really solid compared to most.
