Project Information
I decided to take my mitersaw off my workbench. I had it installed as a fliptop but as cool as it was, it was inconvenient. Sold the Dewalt cordless mitersaw and bought the DWS 779. Time to make a new stand!!
The wings extend just short of 11ft. Bought a "big gulp" 4" hood and installed it just behind the saw. For dust collection im using my HF dust collector and a shop vac with a thien baffle cabinet that stores a 5 gallon bucket. Anyone that has a dewalt 779 or 780 knows the design of the dust collection is just terrible.
The hood is used for just straight cuts and is removable for miter and bevels cuts. For miter cuts, there is also a removable 6" tall barrier to somewhat contain the dust.
I didnt want a fence so i just made a couple of stops and installed a starrett measuring tape.
One of the stops is used for 12" or shorter repeatable cuts.
