This is my mitersaw staion I had about 3/4 of a sheet of 18mm ply left over from a job & some white formica I’m always stuck for space in my workshop so I made it with drop down wings the supports were made of somvery plain maple I had left over & have a swivelling top so they fold flat against the side of the cabinet & to allow for seasonal or workpiece load changes I am able fine tune the level of the extension tables I fitted on the top of the supports some adjustable height feet that “Hafelle” sell for levelling the bottom of flat pack wardrobes. I am able to store my tablesaw blades & dado set in the cupboard & the drwaer contains a few relevant parts like compound mitre guide & adustable stops, quick clamps etc. The whole thing is on 3” castors & makes life a lot easier, hope you can take something useful from it
Cheers

Trevor, this is a nice chop saw station. Making fold down extensions is an excellent idea. Not only does this improve the functionality of your saw but it also looks good as well. Thanks for the post I will definitely have to put one of these on my to do list.

Great Job! Should be a great addition to the shop. I really like the fold out wings. I’m about 1/2 way thru building a flip cabinet that houses my Planer and Chop saw & I’m thinking the wings would be a great idea. It would be sweet if I could get the wings to work on the both tools. Well have to do some math.
Thx for the post, well done.

Hey Trevor – looks great. Quick question – what are the two metal parts attached to the right, rear, top corner of the main unit? They look like they have some black knobs on them. Just curious, as I started working on a cut list for something similar the night before last.

This is a smart looking station. I like the fold down wings for space economy, the undersaw storage, the casters.

Thankyou all I’m glad you like it Steve (steopa) the things you refer to are the adjustable wardrobe feet I mentioned I turned them upside down & fitted them to the edge of a piece of maple about 6×3 x 5/8” there is a bolt drilled through the centre & into the wing,when the wing support is opened up that piece swivels to 90 degrees of the wing & supports the extension bed. I can then adjust these little feet up or down to fine tune the level of the bed
God bless
