Best way to store Compound miter saw?

[V-10 Killer]

I picked up a reducer for the hose to connect to my Dewalt saw at Ace Hardware, but it doesn't fit that great. Still looking for a better option. The Hitachi has a rubber hose coupling that came with it that fits my hose perfectly.

A+! I'm stealing this idea as well...I may enhance it with a metal cutting chop saw on one side and the wood miter saw on the other...flip flip.

I dont like wood dust near my metal tools and I really dont like sparks near my wood dust. Think this through, and use extreme prejudice when blowing the dust off for metal use.I think if it was made of metal there would be less places for dust to hide and if they did ignite, it would be against a metal frame instead of flammable wood

Hate to hear about a garage fire because a hot spark landed in a little dust hiding in a crevice and quietly smoldered until you left the garage.

EDIt just went and read the thread after looking at it a bit. His frame is made of aluminum

Are you thinking of something like this? It hangs above my workbench near the ceiling. Please forgive that it is a Harbor Freight saw. It was a gift from my brother and rarely gets used as I have a nice Delta 10" miter I use most of the time.

Anyway, I used a 2x6 which spans the studs. I drilled and counterbored two holes that are the distance between two holes in the base into the 2x6. The counterbore is hidden on the wall side and is deep enough fro a nut and washer. I installed 4" long bolts into the 2x6 with a nut and washer on each side of the wood. Then I cut the heads off the bolts leaving a 3 inch or so long stud protruding from the 2x6. The miter saw just slides onto those two studs and hangs out until I need it.

I wouldnt feel bad that its a harbor freight, Awesome that its a free gift I have a Festool Kapex 120 that I bought. I do alot of moulding work and also alot of rough framing. The Kapex is more a precision instrument rather then a miter saw, I dont really want to use it for rough framing anymore. Thinking about picking up a harbor trash for the rough stuff.
