This is part one of a three part series showing how I built the very cool miter saw station featured in the Fine Woodworking Issue # Go here for more. Cut large triangular plywood pieces and screw them into the four corners so that you fine woodworking miter saw station group a surface to mount the heavy duty locking casters to when the time comes. Before screwing down the plywood top, I first clamped down the top to test the extension wing and make sure it could slide smoothly. But first I need to cut a small dado that will fit the runners. I like the work station. The pencil holder was made by angling the bed of the drill press and then drilling holes into a scrap piece of 2x4 from the build.

Hey there! We get so many questions about what tools we suggest you have to start building. One of our top three tools we suggest is a miter saw. They can be intimidating, at first,. Pro tricks for air-tight joints. This Ultimate Miter saw Stand project is so popular that we have made complete plans available as a Downloadable Plan.

The best miter saw work station. Cut trim and moldings so they fit like a glove. Learn how to use a miter saw safely. Learn the difference between a miter and a bevel cut.

I'll also show you different features of miter saws. Needed a better mitre gauge for table saw. These will become the support brackets for the accessory shelving. Cut short cleats to support the shelves and screw them onto the brackets. Then, cut the shelves themselves to fit between your brackets.

My shelves are 3' long and run on the "long" side of my saw. I've got a toolbox to put on the "short" side so no shelves were necessary there, but of course this process could easily be repeated in a narrower version on the other side. Not that it's necessary, but hey, I live in Oakland, what with the earthquakes and all, I don't want my tape measure falling off the shelf.

That was a joke. The scrap bins are an essential piece of this project. Miter saws create odd length cut-offs constantly. If you're mostly cutting cheap woods like plywood and 2x4's, saving scrap is perhaps not the biggest priority, however, if you're cutting fine hard woods, you're going to want to hold on to those scraps to make things like Scrap Wood Cutting Boards and to have small stock on hand for custom inlays and so forth.

Choose dimensions for your bins that make sense for you. My bins are as tall as my miter saw station and as wide as possible on both the "long", and "short" sides of my saw. They should be between inches deep.

Any shallower and you won't be able to hold much stock. Any deeper and they'll make your cart very very large.

Cut the sides of the bin with a jig saw or on a scroll saw, place them side by side, and then sand them on a belt sander so they match perfectly. Then, cut a bottom for the bin and small lip to retain the wood once it's in there.

Assemble everything with screws, and cleats on the brackets where they will be hung onto the miter saw station. I really like this adaptation of the original sketch because it allows me to easily see what's inside the bin without doing a lot of fishing with my hands at the bottom of a dark bin.

Plus, it gives what is otherwise a very solid and massive project a lighter and more open feel. With most of the build-out done it's time for the most important part of this whole process.

Squaring and leveling the saw to the cart. As I said in step 7 when I was building the recess for the miter saw, I didn't worry too much about making the recess be the perfect depth for my miter saw so that the bed of the saw would align perfectly with my work surface.

Well, that was now and so here's how to level and square the saw. Place the miter saw directly on your recess support and grab a large level. Place the level across the bed of your miter saw station and then using a calipers, measure the distance from the level to the top of the saw bed on both sides of the saw, directly over the spot where the feet of the miter saw get screwed into position. Then, head on over to the planer and mill two pieces of scrap lumber I used an extra 2x4 I had to those exact two dimensions.

Ideally they're the same, but just in case something wasn't completely level in your cart build, this will account for a small difference and will give you an 8' long bed that's absolutely flat and true to your saw. With the custom shims planed down to the perfect height, slip them underneath the feet of your miter saw. The saw should now be level - check again with long level or another reliable straight edge to make sure.

Square the fence, or blade, on your saw to the front and back of your cart using a large t-square. The saw should now be square. Tighten the lag bolts with a ratchet or impact wrench and your saw should be firmly mounted in place. I added power to the cart by mounting a simple power strip on the side.

I use a small shopvac for dust collection on my saw and the worksurfaces are great places to sand or do small projects, so all those tools can now be plugged in here easily instead of bending over to a power strip sitting on the floor every time.

A short extension cord connects the saw to this strip underneath the miter saw station. I brought power up to the saw by drilling a small hole at the back of the recess for the saw so that the plug could be passed through to the interior of the cart. Accessorizing the miter saw station is fun final step. This is obviously different for everyone, but the preliminary accessories I came up with were a pencil holder, a hook to hang my safety gear, and a permanent adhesive backed tape measure to make quick cuts on non-essential lumber without grabbing the tape measure, pencil, and square.

The pencil holder was made by angling the bed of the drill press and then drilling holes into a scrap piece of 2x4 from the build. I'm always searching for a pencil, having three permanent ones located by the miter saw will hopefully help. The hook is a simple coat hook from the hardware store. On it hangs a dedicated pair of safety goggles and ear protection.

I'm notorious for not always wearing goggles and ear protection as often as I should, and it's something I'm really trying to be more diligent about, so hopefully the dedicated hook will also help. Finally, I used an adhesive backed tape measure to create a quick and dirty measurement guide right on the table so that in a pinch if I was cutting a non-essential piece of stock down, I could make a quick ballpark cut without marking it up formally.

You can buy left to right and right to left tape measures online, so simply order the kind that works for your station. That's pretty much the entire project - hope it's useful to anyone building their own combo miter saw station lumber rack.

If you've got suggestions, questions, or comments, please leave them below and I'll get right back to you. As always, if you make your own or have other ideas of how I could improve on this, please post pictures of what you've come up with as well. Very nicely done! A very practical storage and mitre saw solution. Do you mind if I draw up a set of plans for it, I believe it is something a lot of woodworkers with limited space could use.

Reply 8 years ago on Introduction. My plan drawing skills are virtually zero, so, I'd absolutely love it if you would consider drawing up some plans. You can post them to the Instructable in the comments, but once they're up, I'd also love to include them in the Instructable itself in the tools and materials section and of course give you credit and many thanks for them.

How can I help, Fine Woodworking Miter Saw Station and seriously, thank you! Reply 5 years ago. Hey brother, would you happen to have a pdf. I click on all the links and none of them work. I would greatly appreciate it. Not that's a gorgeous DIY storage bench if I ever saw one. Kudos to you for taking the time and effort to make one mate!

Hey, this looks great!! One thing that pops into mind is saw dust and dust collection. I wonder if you included a space for a cyclone vacuum bin with an autostart, maybe a downdraft bed under the saw, if that would keep a lot of dust out of the air.

Very nice build btw!!! Reply 6 years ago on Introduction. Thanks for pointing this out. I was about to make something similar and completely forgot about the sawdust issue that comes with these type of stations. One note - pipe sizing is wrong.

I went off the materials list and bought 1. I think the author meant O. Wish I would have seen this one before I made mine. Funny, how similar in concept they ended up being. Very nice,. Great project! You have successfully combined your need of storage and organization in one working space. Congratulations for a job well done! What an awesome build! I will share this with my son, he will be building guitars in a year or so and will need something like this!

Thanks so much for sharing! Hope your day shiines! I have a radial arm saw still sitting on the floor while I think of a way to set it up. This would be perfect if I had the space. This is a great way to make double use of the space. I did a LOT of research when constructing my small shop and I definitely would have added this into my shop.

I built something similar using my workbech instead. Excellent instructable man. As someone who is very particular about organization I just have to say this is sooooo beautiful.

I really like the functionality of this and how well you maximized the space. I have a similar set up, although I store all my long clamps underneath rather than wood, as you have done I just need more shelves I think?

Plus, you've added lots of good details that I will eventually have to copy, especially the storage for sheet material behind. Awesome work. And welcome back! By noahw Follow. More by the author:.

This build definitely requires a trip to Home Depot or your local lumber yard. I'm not going to give exact cutting dimensions for every cut because I think everyone will need to adapt the design a bit for their own purposes and space constrictions, but, I will supply as many of the dimensions that I used as possible to serve as inspiration and a general guideline.
