This is a very basic reel stand that I use to hold long lengths of wood on my inexpensive table saw. I'm just a casual and beginner carpenter and didn't want to spend too much on this type of hardware. The stand opens and you set the desired height. Nothing special but works well for me. You can feel the processing and the relatively low weight. Collapses to about 4 inches deep, which is necessary for my situation. I would like a wider track and a slightly lower price for such basic equipment would be nice. If I had a workshop and I was more interested in woodworking. I probably won't buy this particular model.
