This is a basic design thats been floating around the magazines for years. I just added some features that I needed. Dewalt 10” Compound miter saw . Locking swivel casters makes this very moveable . Fold down wings. A place to throw the cut offs. Cutting capacity is 60” on left, 48” on right using KREG hardware with stops. obviously you can cut longer stock just without the stops. This set up works well for the space I have and what I work on. Consruction is shop birch ply, poplar and left over oak flooring from benches. I love working outside on a good day.

That came out great, a lot nicer than the few I have in my magazine collection.

Very nice 12” sliding compound miter saw station. I especially like the way you have the long drop leaves set up. What’s also cool—the adjustable support on the top of the bracing arms. The Kreg stop is a great adjustable feature too. I’m thinking of re-doing my planer/miter saw flip station to something more usable, such as this. Thanks for sharing the details with words and descriptive pictures.

Nice use of space…how do you deal with dust collection? Just spit out the back? Do the folding wings collect dust? I would guess that the spaced slats for the wing tops allow dust out as easily as in.

A miter bench that rolls outside is quite a handy thing to have in a shop. Good work and welcome to Lumberjocks.

Nice to see your miter saw station. Looks great and I like its compactness and mobility! I am building one now using a different design, but this one was one I seriously considered. What are you doing for dust collection when cutting in the shop? I am working on several designs for mine, but haven’t settled on anything yet. Again, a wonderful and useful tool!!

Excellent work. I love mine and I know you will love yours too. It’s a design that makes so much sense for those of us who have limited workshop space. I love seeing what people do to personalize their versions – like the support bolt at the end of the wings which makes it adjustable. Excellent idea.
Enjoy!

Well done! I am curious about the asymmetry. What was the reason you did it this way?
