New miter saw stand

[mrramsey]

Started building a stand for my new saw today. The working height is 36-1/2" which matches my DeWalt TS and the flip down assembly table I built the other day.

The miter saws table drops down 5" for storage in the cabinets I am building. The TS and Miter saw simply roll into the bottomless cabinets for storage behind closed doors.

I still have to put the back panel on the stand and pick up some hardware. Eventually I will add some extension wings but will wait until I start building the cabinet since I had to make it a little bigger than I initially designed. The overall footprint is 33" x 20-1/4".

I have a stand I bought a long time ago, it is made by Ryobi. It isn't the best stand around, but it works OK and I like it because it folds up and makes it easy for me when I need it at a job site. Price was decent too.

Yeah i thought about just buying a folding stand but the problem there was that I couldn't find one that would fit inside of the cabinets I was building. Since I no longer do carpentry professionally anymore I didn't need the portability.

I built this one from Shop Notes about 15 years ago and it really served me well for a long time.

Are those Shop Notes plans readily available?

I got all 138 Issues on a CD for Christmas a few years ago but I already had them all in print.

Randy, that is really nice looking. Especially with the fold down ends!

That is their picture not mine, but mine came out very similar. Most of the the Shop Note plans include a cutting diagram to minimize the waste wood and more important the projects helped teach me how to use my basic shop equipment & tools more accurately. That set up was very portable and easy to bring into the house or wherever.

I now have a different chop saw set up now in my new shop and gave that one (including the miter saw) to a young co-worker who just bought his first house. He still uses it all of the time and made his new little girl a bed a and some kid toys.

I have this exact stand. Works well. I made a rolling stand for it, as I move it around quite a bit. (sorry crappy picture)
