This is an improvement on my old miter saw station for a new green friend that came into my shop last week. On the old one I found That it was difficult to get the support arms at the right I wanted them every time I took them down and put them back up, and that they would have too much “play in them back and forth. Then I thought to myself; how much do I actually take the arms down? Not very… why not improve on the old. So I kept the main cabinet that the saw sits on, the fence and stop system and ditched the rest. I built two new cabinets to go on either side of the main one and then put the fence system on those, add a few doors, a couple drawers and some more casters for extra support and there we go, a new… well half new miter saw stand. This is a lot more sturdy and precise set up than the last one… and plus with the doors on the cabinets it hides all the clutter that somehow built up underneath the last one.

It looks like it is a sturdy system. It also looks great.

Same footprint with at least 3 times the storage area : ) Great job !!
What did you do with the old Bosch ? What didn’t you like about it ?
How are you liking your new toy ?

The old Bosh is being kept as a secondary saw, I was going to sell it but I don’t say I’d get too much for it so I may as well keep it, It is good for rough work but isnt as precise as I’d like it to be, and I have had my eye on the Festool for about a year now and I finally bit the bullet. Its a great saw, except for one issue, this one has a warped fence, I let the place I bought it from know and they are bringing in a new one for me, should be here early this week. I’ll do a full review of it when I have really had a chance to get to know it.

I also kept my old 10” Delta for the rough work after buying my 12” Bosch CMS.
It has earned its keep : )
