This is my el cheapo miter saw station that I made from 1 sheet of 3/4” particle board and some remnants around the shop including some old door hinges I had laying around. I did buy some casters so I can roll it out of the way. I used to have the saw mounted on my Black and Decker metal miter saw stand, but found that it took up way too much room in my modest sized shop. I plan on adding t-tracks on the wings along with measuring tapes (both l-r and r-l) so I can fix stops when needed. Not as sophisticated as some others, but it fits the bill for me and was less than $50!

Great station but I think you’ll want to move the dust port close to the bottom as that is where most of the dust ends up. I like the highly polished brass hinges as well : )

Nice job. Not sure if I ‘d call it cheapo though. Thrifty maybe, but not cheapo. Looks really good. Well done.

Nice miter station. I have one of those saws, and the stand you refer to. I am a bit shocked you didn’t just unbolt the saw from the stand tables….
I need to build me one of these, of course I HAVE to use plywood. MDF or particle board would simply melt in the Houston humidity…

I get a real kick out of how innovative people are. What a fantastic minimalist design. It seems to take only the space that it absolutely needs, but with infinite versaility because of its mobility! I’m getting lots of good ideas from seeing everyone’s work. Thanks!
