• Linear ball bearing support of dual shaft horizontal arm creates smooth, gliding movement
• Adjustable lever handles and "Soft-Grip" knobs for your convenience
• Moderate price for many of the same features found on the most expensive stands available

The SMS6B stand was designed for people who are using the smaller stereo microscopes for inspection work and want a boom stand that gives smoother horizontal arm movement than our SMS15/16 stands and is less expensive than our heavy-duty SMS20 boom stand.

Combining the best of both worlds, the SMS6B , like the SMS20, has a ball bearing supported dual shaft horizontal arm that allows it to move smoothly with none of the "slip-stick" that is common with bushing supported horizontal arms. Ball bearing guides are used on both shafts for extra smooth operation. Like the SMS15/16, the SMS6B needs no adapter if your microscope focus mount has the industry standard 5/8" "Bonder Mount".

The 5/8" diameter dowel on a "Bonder Mount" fits into a vertical socket in the end of the horizontal arm. A lever knob adjusts a friction collar that traps the bonder dowel and allows the microscope to rotate around a vertical axis. This allows the microscope to be aligned with the users eyes when repositioned.

Tilting and non-tilting adapters are available for microscopes that do not have the 5/8" diameter microscope mounting dowel.
