Testing statement: Firebusters has not personally tested this stand. Specifications and safety information are based on the current Edisons and BAUMR-AG product information and the MS170 user manual.

BAUMR-AG MS170 Mitre Saw Stand Overview

The BAUMR-AG MS170 is a folding mitre-saw stand designed to provide a portable base and adjustable material supports for compatible mitre and drop saws.

It weighs approximately 14kg, has a published maximum stand load of 150kg and extends from about 105cm to 165cm.

BAUMR-AG MS170 Product Card

How Universal Is the MS170?

The manufacturer describes the MS170 as a universal mitre-saw stand, but buyers should still measure their saw before ordering.

The current Edisons specification lists a machine-mount range of 20–53cm. The BAUMR-AG manual separately states that the maximum mounting-hole centre distance for the saw is 374mm.

Very wide, unusually shaped or proprietary saw bases may require another stand or an approved mounting solution.

Quick-Release Saw Mounts

The stand uses left and right tool-mounting clamps that attach to the main stand tubes.

This allows the saw and mounting brackets to be removed from the stand without permanently fixing the saw to a bench.

That can be useful where workshop space is limited and the saw needs to be stored after use.

The saw must still be bolted securely to the mounting rails according to the stand and saw instructions.

150kg Published Load Capacity

BAUMR-AG publishes a stand load capacity of 150kg.

This should not be treated as permission to place any 150kg load anywhere on the stand.

The saw, mounting arrangement, workpiece position and extended supports all affect stability.

Long or heavy timber may need additional independent support even when the total weight is below the stand’s published capacity.

Adjustable Length

The stand can be adjusted from approximately 105cm to 165cm.

The extension arms slide outward and are secured using locking knobs.

This provides additional support for longer workpieces compared with placing a saw on a small bench.

Always tighten the adjustment knobs before cutting.

Roller Work Supports

Each end of the stand includes an adjustable work support with a metal roller.

The rollers can help support longer stock as it is positioned for cutting.

The support height should be adjusted so the workpiece remains properly aligned with the saw table.

If a board is very long or heavy, separate support stands may still be required.

The Stand Does Not Replace Workholding

Follow the saw manufacturer’s instructions for:

• workpiece clamping
• hand position
• blade guarding
• cutting capacity
• mitre and bevel adjustments
• supporting long stock

Use on a Flat and Stable Surface

The MS170 manual states that the stand must be used on a flat, level and stable surface.

Do not set it up where a leg can sink, slide or rock during cutting.

Before switching on the saw:

• fully unfold the legs
• check that each spring-loaded leg pin has engaged
• make sure the stand does not rock
• tighten all length and height adjustment knobs
• confirm the saw clamps are correctly seated

Operating Height

The current specification lists an operating height of approximately 75cm.

The product description also refers to height adjustment, but this largely relates to the work supports rather than suggesting a wide range of overall stand-height settings.

Buyers wanting a particularly high or low working position should therefore check the 75cm operating height before purchase.

Folding and Storage

The legs fold for transport and storage, and the stand includes carry handles.

The product weighs approximately 14kg, which makes it considerably easier to move than a permanently installed workshop bench.

The manufacturer does not clearly publish a separate assembled-folded dimension in the current specification.

The shipping carton is approximately 107 × 27 × 19cm, but this should not automatically be treated as the exact folded size after assembly.

Domestic Use Limitation

The current BAUMR-AG MS170 user manual states that the equipment is for domestic use only.

That is important because some retailer descriptions may make the stand appear suitable for general jobsite or trade use.

Firebusters would follow the manufacturer manual rather than assuming commercial or industrial suitability.

Workshop Safety

The MS170 manual requires users to read and understand the instructions before use.

General precautions include:

• use the stand only on a flat and stable surface
• do not use damaged or excessively worn equipment
• keep the work area clean and well lit
• keep the equipment away from wet or damp conditions
• wear appropriate PPE
• keep loose clothing, jewellery and long hair away from moving equipment
• do not modify the stand

Who Should Consider the MS170?

The stand may suit:

• home renovators
• DIY woodworkers
• garage workshops
• users who need to pack their mitre saw away after use
• owners of compatible BAUMR-AG or other mitre saws
• people needing basic support for longer timber

When Another Option May Be Better

Consider another stand or permanent bench if:

• your saw’s mounting holes do not fit the MS170
• you require equipment specifically rated for trade or industrial use
• your material regularly needs support beyond 165cm
• you need a different working height
• you require integrated wheels or a mobile saw station
• you regularly handle very large or heavy workpieces

Compare Workshop Saw Types

The stand is only useful if it matches the saw and cutting task.

Firebusters has a separate guide comparing BAUMR-AG table saws, mitre saws and bandsaws, including their different cutting roles and safety considerations.

Buyer Checklist

• Confirm the stand model is MS170.
• Measure your saw’s mounting holes.
• Compare the saw measurements with the MS170 manual.
• Check the 150kg published stand capacity.
• Confirm the 75cm operating height suits you.
• Check whether the 105–165cm support range suits your timber.
• Allow extra support for particularly long or heavy workpieces.
• Remember the stand weighs about 14kg.
• Confirm all adjustment knobs and leg locks before cutting.
• Do not assume the stand replaces clamps or saw guarding.
• Remember that the current manual states domestic use only.

Final Assessment

The BAUMR-AG MS170 provides a practical way to turn a compatible mitre saw into a portable home-workshop cutting station.

The 150kg published capacity, quick-release mounting system, folding legs and 105–165cm adjustable material supports are useful features.

The most important issue is compatibility. Buyers should measure their saw’s base before ordering rather than relying on the word “universal”.

Firebusters recommendation: consider the MS170 for domestic DIY use if your saw’s mounting pattern fits and the 75cm operating height and 165cm maximum stand length suit your projects. For commercial or industrial use, choose equipment specifically documented for that duty.
