What to Look For
- What it holds. Tripods hold lasers and lights. Mobile bases carry machines. Roller stands support long stock.
- Height range. Elevator tripods raise a laser for ceiling and layout work.
- Machine fit. Universal mobile bases adjust to a range of footprints. Check your machine's base size.

Tool Stands FAQ
Does a laser need a special tripod?
Most construction tripods use a standard thread that fits many laser levels. Some lasers need an adapter, so check the mount on your laser before buying.
Why put a machine on a mobile base?
A mobile base lets one shop space serve several machines. You roll a jointer or bandsaw out to use it, then lock the wheels so it stays put while cutting.
