PortaMate, an Affinity Tool Works, LLC brand, collaborated with Sundberg-Ferar (SF) to design the PortaMate Portacube PM-8000 STR Miter Saw Work Station, a compact, portable miter saw workstation and storage center as a space-saving solution for small workshops and off-site projects. This workstation can serve as a compact or extended worktable and offers temporary or permanent miter saw or table top tool storage.
The Portacube workstation solves some persistent problems in the portable work stand category: ease of portability, overall adjustability, vibrational stability and increased work surface area. Together the SF and PortaMate teams have made huge strides forward in this category with user-driven research and design approaches.
The central table structure is made of steel for rigidity and two side extension wings are made of composite material for weight reduction and integrated design features. The Portacube, with its 31” by 29” footprint, travels easily using a retractable locking handle and 10-inch heavy-duty wheels that function like a standard hand truck. Two adjustable leveling feet are designed to stabilize the workstation on uneven surfaces providing an additional level of safety and assists cutting accuracy.
This multi-use workstation is outfitted with rotating adjustable tool mounts to accommodate not only miter saws, but bench top planers and other tabletop tools up to 26” wide. The flipping mechanism allows the tool to remain safely affixed to the tabletop and roll under the table into an inverted, secure storage position when not in use.
The side wing extensions can expand the working surface from 30 inches up to 7 feet in length and can be adjusted at the mid-section to be level with your saw height which is one of the most functional and desirable attributes of this product. These adjustable tool tables raise and lock into place to support infeed and outfeed support needs, increasing safety and setting the bar for professional and enthusiast carpenters alike.
