Folding Bench For Sliding Miter Saw

Reallyl great upgrade for your ‘Cadillac’ saw, thinking about doing the same for my ‘Caddy’.
Don’t you just love the way those Makita sliders work? Dead on cuts every time!

Nice build. I might have to make me one too. Which plans did you use?

Thanks for sharing.

Excellent, brother…..I remember seeing those plans in one of the magazines I take a long time ago….Either Wood, or Shop Notes…can’t remember….old age…..I built one kinda similar to it that Norm Abrams built to be a portable, where it would knock down, and you take it with you…..Used it for a few years, then decided to make my chop saw/ Ras station…..I cut the legs down (it was about 44” high) and made it a work table for my fishing gear, respollong reels, etc…..You did a great job, as usual, bro…..Always enjoy your post, projects, and hearing from you…...Keep on the sunny side…...Looks like beautiful country around your place…..!!

Great build and the photo setting could be in a magazine. Very useful bench, use it well.

Pretty nice. I need to build one myself.

C-PLUS thats a great build ,think i may follow suit

Verry nice table (if you have space enough for it-unfortunatelly I haven’t). One thing I can do, watching your mitter, is zero clearance insert for it, good idea, I already had problems because of not having it.

Love it. I need one as well.

Boy does that look familiar, Bruce.

Here was mine from a few years ago

I used the same planes. Your modifications look very practical. I like your saw stops better and having the scrap box up high makes a lot of sense.

Congrats on a great build on a very practical project. I still love using mine.

Very nice and good job Bruce.

Great job, I hope you get a lot of good use from it! I have the same saw, sometimes I think it’s off a little, especially on wide boards, how did you tune it up? Did you find instructions somewhere?

-- What I lack in skill, I make up for in putty.

Excellent job. Like the others, I may have to build one for my little shop.
Thanks for sharing.

-- When you leave your shop for the night, make sure you can always count to 10.

Looks great. I need to make me one. I just bought a new saw and it needs a home.

-- But I did measure it twice and cut it three time and it still is to short!

What a great setup you have made for your self with this one!!! Nice saw and like the light!
