How to Build a Simple and Strong Miter Saw Station instructables How to Build a Simple and Strong Miter Saw Station by funwithwoodworking This miter saw station is made out of 13 - 8 foot 2x4's list, and step by step assembly directions can be and single sheet of 3/4" plywood cut down the middle found at: long ways. The main tools needed are a tape https://funwithwoodworking.com/product/mitre-saw- measure, a speed square, a miter saw, a drill, and a station/ circular saw. Clamps and a framing square are helpful but not 100% necessary. A full video of the build can be seen here: https://youtu.be/Nde1jGHNw5E Full plans with dimensions, material list, tool list, cut Step 1: Cut All the 2x4's to Length Cut all the 2x4's to their finished lengths according to the cut list in the plan. How to Build a Simple and Strong Miter Saw Station: Page 1 Step 2: Build the Right and Left Frames Build the right frame by making 4 legs with the small and the longer leg riser to the right. feet at the bottom and then screwing the front stretchers across the top of the feet. You then install The left side is built the same way except that you the side stretchers by screwing them into the inner attach the shorter leg riser to the right side and the side of the 4 legs. Once all the stretchers are screwed longer one to the left side. in you will attach the shorter leg riser to the left side How to Build a Simple and Strong Miter Saw Station: Page 2 Step 3: Attach the 2 Frames Together Place the left and right frames 24" apart and set the stretchers on top of the 2 short leg risers in the front and the back. Attach with 2 or 3 screws into each leg. Hold another stretcher in place at the level of the bottom shelf in the rear and attach it using 2 screws into the side of each leg. Mark the center of each top and install a cross brace by screwing through the stretcher into the cross brace. How to Build a Simple and Strong Miter Saw Station: Page 3 Step 4: Cut and Install the Plywood Shelves and Work Surface Measure the 2 bottom shelves and top center shelf and cut them from 1 of the 24" x 96" pieces of 3/4" plywood. Attach to the 2x4 stretcher with a screw into each corner. Measure the top work surface for length and cut the 2 pieces from the other half of the plywood. Attach to the stretchers with 4 screws along each front and 4 screws along each back. Step 5: Mount Your Miter Saw This station was designed with a 3 1/2" recessed shelf for the miter saw. The pictured saw has a 2 3/4" table height so we added a single layer of 3/4" plywood to bring it level to the work surface. Place your miter saw in the center of the middle shelf with the handle sticking out the front for easy movement and then attach using long screws or lag bolts depending on the size of your mounting holes. How to Build a Simple and Strong Miter Saw Station: Page 4 Step 6: Watch a Video of the Entire Build https://youtu.be/Nde1jGHNw5E Thanks for the tip. Charlessenf-gm, I do something similar on my workbench. The left and right outfeed sides next to the miter saw have blocks and shims to support long boards. But a dual left/right table would be so much nicer. Even if thin shims were needed to support the work. I made a similar arrangement which was all on the same frame and had 4 sets of swivel wheels on the bottom to allow it to be moved from the wall. The platform for my saw was made removable so I could make several stations/platforms for different power tools (table saw, planner, router, drill press and band saw). This gave me good work stations for my small work area. Thanks, that sounds like a good idea. Photos would be very nice ArtEdwards67. :) On my To Do list for my new shop--ha ha--my little corner of the garage-- is a miter saw table. I doubt I have the room for something this big, but yours is a perfect starting place for me to start planning. KJ This plan can definitely be scaled down to fit your needs. Here's a tip: put a floor in the tabletop and put hinges on the top piece with a flush handle in the front. Use this storage for hand tools, sockets, etc. I like that idea, but we plan on adding some kind of storage shelves behind the fence. I have not had the room to build one of these but the idea is great of course and well documented on instructables . What intrigued me however is why make it so deep . You only use the front foot of the benches to hold the timber to be cut and the back of the bench is mostly wasted . I realise the saw slides some have have to have that room to move behind. Perhaps other power tools can be mounted there and used from the other side? I also suggest you hang the power board on the back leg We are going to come back later and install a fence and some kind of storage in the back area. Very nice! I built an almost identical miter saw station many years ago. It held up great and was a fantastic and integral part of my evolving workshop. Very nicely done :) Thank you!

  • Paul Sellers' Workbench Measurements and Cutting
    PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST NOTE When putting together the cutting list for my workbench, I worked in imperial, the system with which I am most comfortable. I was not happy, however, to then provide direct conversions to metric because to be accurate and ensure an exact fit this would involve providing measurements in fractions of millimetres. When I do work in metric I find it more comfortable to work with rounded numbers, therefore I have created two slightly different sets of measurements. This means that in places the imperial measurement given is not a direct conversion of the metric measurement given. Therefore, I suggest you choose one or other of the systems and follow it throughout. © 2017 – Paul Sellers v2 PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST WOOD QTY DESCRIPTION SIZE (IMPERIAL) SIZE (METRIC) (THICK X WIDE X LONG) (THICK X WIDE X LONG) 4 Leg 2 ¾” x 3 ¾” x 34 ⅜” 70 x 95 x 875mm 1 Benchtop 2 ⅜” x 12” x 66” 65 x 300 x 1680mm 2 Apron 1 ⅝” x 11 ½” x 66” 40 x 290 x 1680mm 1 Wellboard 1” x 12 ½” x 66” 25 x 320 x 1680mm 4 Rail 1 ½” x 6” x 26” 40 x 150 x 654mm 2 Bearer 1 ¼” x 3 ¾” x 25” 30 x 95 x 630mm 4 Wedge ⅝” x 1 ½” x 9” 16 x 40 x 228mm 4 Wedge retainer ⅝” x 1 ½” x 4” 16 x 40 x 100mm HARDWARE QTY DESCRIPTION SIZE (IMPERIAL) SIZE (METRIC) 1 Vise 9” 225mm Dome head bolts (including nuts and washers) for 4 ⅜” x 5” 10 x 130mm bolting legs to aprons 2 Lag screws (with washers) for underside of vise ½” x 2 ½” 12 x 65mm 2 Lag screws for face

  • MITER SAW SAFETY (Reviewed 9/27/2007)
    MITER SAW SAFETY (Reviewed 9/27/2007) 1. Tool Use and Care • Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against you body is unstable. It allows for work to shift, causes binding of the tool and loss of control. • Do not force tool. Use correct tool for you application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do not use the tool for purposes not intended – for example; do not use the miter saw for slicing meat. • Do not use tool if switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous. • Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments for changing accessories. Such prevention safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges, are less likely to bind and easier to control. When mounting saw blades be certain that the arrow on the blade matches the direction of the arrow marked on the tool and that the teeth are also pointing in the same direction. • Inspect guards before using. Keep guards in place. Check moving parts for binding or any other condition that may affect the normal operation of safety features of the tool. If damaged, have tool serviced before using the tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. • Do not alter or misuse tool.
