Metabo HPT is the brand that used to be sold as Hitachi power tools in North America, and it has a long reputation for miter saws that are light, accurate and simple to set up. A miter saw is the chop-down saw you use to cut boards to length and at angles, for things like trim, picture frames and deck boards. The saw is only half the story, though. A stand lifts it to a comfortable working height and holds long boards level on both sides, which makes cuts straighter and safer than balancing a saw on the floor or a wobbly table.
This roundup covers one Metabo HPT miter saw stand, one Metabo HPT table saw stand replacement part, the Metabo HPT C10FCG2 miter saw itself, and one stand from a different brand, Evolution Power Tools, which we include only for comparison because it is sold as a universal stand that fits many saws.

Metabo Hpt Fold And Roll Universal
Best for: Metabo HPT owners wanting a rolling stand
Pros
- Supports up to 400 lbs
- Material support up to 8 ft
- Quick release mounting brackets
- Fits sliding saws up to 12 inches
Cons
- Heavy at roughly 68 to 73 lbs
The Metabo Hpt Fold And Roll Universal Miter Saw Stand is the main reason most people search for a Metabo miter saw stand. The description calls it the Fold & Roll Heavy-Duty Miter Saw Stand (UU240R) and says it offers single action set-up and take-down, which means one motion opens or folds the legs rather than a series of pins and knobs. It rolls on wheels, so you can tip it back and move it like a hand truck.
The frame is tubular steel and the listing says it supports up to 400 lbs. With its extension supports, it holds material up to 8 ft long, and it accepts sliding compound miter saws up to 12 inches. Quick release mounting brackets let you lift the saw off for use elsewhere, and auxiliary mounting brackets make the stand fully universal, so you do not need to bolt the saw to a separate board first. The brackets have non-marring rubber feet, so a saw set down on them will not get scratched.
One inconsistency: the features say the stand weighs 73 lbs, while the specifications list 67.8 pounds. Either way it is a solid, heavy piece, which is good for stability but means you will be rolling rather than carrying it. This Metabo HPT fold and roll miter saw stand suits anyone who moves a saw between a garage and a job site, or who needs to store the stand flat against a wall when it is not in use.

Metabo HPT 374769 TABLE SAW STAND
Best for: C3610DRJQ4M table saw owners replacing a stand
Pros
- Genuine replacement part
- Made for a specific table saw
Cons
- Not a miter saw stand
- Almost no feature details
The Metabo HPT 374769 TABLE SAW STAND assembly is easy to misunderstand, so it is worth being clear. The listing title ties it to the C3610DRJQ4M, which is a Metabo HPT table saw model, and the features describe it as a genuine Metabo HPT and Hitachi replacement part. It is not a miter saw stand, and the listing does not say it will fit any miter saw.
The details are thin. The listing gives an item weight of 36 pounds, product dimensions of 24 x 30 x 7 inches, a brushed finish and a rectangular shape. The description is mostly a general company profile of Metabo HPT rather than a description of this part, so it does not specify how the stand folds, whether it has wheels, or what it is made of beyond “Blend”.
Buy this only if you own the matching table saw and need to replace its original stand. If you arrived here looking for a place to set a miter saw, the Fold and Roll stand above is the Metabo HPT product built for that job.

Evolution Power Tools Miter Saw Stand
Best for: Mixed-brand shops wanting longer support
Pros
- Universal fittings for most saws
- Workpieces up to 4 m listed
- 5-position height adjustment
- Folds compact with wheels
Cons
- Made by Evolution, not Metabo HPT
- Load figures inconsistent in listing
The Evolution Power Tools Miter Saw Stand PLUS is made by Evolution Power Tools, not Metabo HPT. We include it because its listing says it has universal fittings that fix most leading brand miter saws, and it names Metabo among the brands it aims to fit. Evolution does not claim it is an official Metabo HPT accessory, so check your saw’s mounting holes against the brackets before buying. The listing does state one exception: it is not compatible with Evolution’s own S355MCS saw.
The description calls it the XL version of Evolution’s stand, with 5-position height adjustment, wheels, and quick-release mounting brackets. It folds down to 200 mm x 270 mm x 1400 mm for storage. The listing’s load figures do not agree with each other: the features say a max load of 661 without a unit, and supports workpieces up to 10 ft, while the description says up to 300 kg and workpieces up to 4 m. Those pairs roughly match if 661 is in pounds and 10 ft is rounded, but the listing does not say so directly. If you like the brand, our guide to Evolution miter saws covers the saws it was designed around.
This stand suits a shop that owns saws from several brands and wants one stand for all of them, or anyone cutting especially long boards. If you want a stand from Metabo HPT itself, the Fold and Roll remains the pick.
Metabo HPT C10FCG2 10-Inch Compound Miter Saw for First-Time Woodworkers
The Metabo HPT 10-Inch Compound Miter Saw, model C10FCG2, is the saw to put on the stand if you do not already own one. It is a corded, second-generation single bevel compound miter saw with a 15-Amp motor and a no-load speed up to 5,000 RPM. “Compound” means it can tilt (bevel) and swivel (miter) at the same time, for cuts like crown molding joints.
The miter range is 0 to 52 degrees left and right, and the bevel range is 0 to 45 degrees to the left only, which is what “single bevel” means. The listing mentions an improved miter scale and controls, a large table for better material support, a vice clamping system to hold the workpiece, and adjustable bevel stops. The blade is 10 inches with 40 teeth, the saw runs on 120 volts, and it comes with the Metabo HPT 5-year warranty.
At about 24 lbs, it is light enough to carry to the stand and back. It does not slide, so it cuts narrower boards than a sliding saw. It suits beginners, gift buyers shopping for a new homeowner, and DIYers doing trim and small projects. If you are comparing it to other saws, see our cordless miter saw guide.
How to Choose the Right Metabo Miter Saw Stand
Match the stand to the saw type. The Fold and Roll stand is built for miter saws, including sliding models up to 12 inches. The 374769 is a table saw stand part, not a miter saw stand. The C10FCG2 is a 10-inch non-sliding saw, so it sits well within the Fold and Roll’s listed range.
Rolling or just folding. A rolling miter saw stand has wheels so you can move it with the saw attached, which both the Fold and Roll and the Evolution PLUS offer. A simple folding miter saw stand without wheels is lighter to lift but harder to move when loaded.
Board length. Think about the longest board you usually cut. The Fold and Roll lists up to 8 ft of support, and the Evolution PLUS lists longer support in its description.
Brand fit. A same-brand stand is the simplest pairing. A universal third-party stand is useful in mixed-brand shops but needs a quick fit check first.
Storage space. All the stands here fold, but none is small. Measure the wall or corner where it will live.
FAQ
Which Metabo stand should I buy for a miter saw?
The Metabo HPT Fold and Roll Universal Miter Saw Stand. It is the only Metabo HPT product in this list designed for miter saws.
Will the Metabo HPT C10FCG2 fit the Fold and Roll stand?
The stand listing says it accepts sliding compound miter saws up to 12 inches and uses universal brackets, and the C10FCG2 is a 10-inch saw. The listings do not confirm the exact bracket fit, so check the stand’s manual.
Is the Metabo HPT table saw stand usable for a miter saw?
The listing presents it as a replacement stand assembly for the C3610DRJQ4M table saw and does not mention miter saws, so we would not rely on it for that.
Is the Evolution stand made by Metabo HPT?
No. It is made by Evolution Power Tools and is sold as a universal stand that aims to fit many brands, including Metabo.
Can I use a miter saw without a stand?
You can set a light saw on a sturdy bench, but a stand gives steadier support for long boards and a better working height.
