Folding Miter Saw Table

Wow… This has to be one of the better designs I have seen for a chop / miter saw station. What did you use for the wing hinges?

Great design and great work!

-- Chris

Thanks Chris. I just used piano hinges for the wings and the legs. Many of the ideas came out of this book if you want to get more details.

Very nice.

Love it. I’m in a tight shop, so I like the design in that it is full-size, yet able to be stored in a small opening. I also like the enclosed cabinet for the vac. I’m wondering if it muffles the vac much? My Shop Vac is much loader than my dust collector. I’d love some type of insulated cabinet if it would really do much. Have you noticed much difference with the doors closed vs. open?

The shop vac is a little quieter inside the cabinet. These cabinet doors have 1/4” panels though so they don’t block much. Now that I’ve learned how to do raised panels I might make some new ones. You could also add some insulation to the interior.

Great design. Where’d you get the green lighted switch?

Excellent. I’m definitely going to borrow from your design!

HI Dan;

This is very familiar to a cabinet I built for my job site miter saw.

Much like your’s my extension wings are hinged, but they are extendable via sliding dovetails on the bottom of the extensions. I also used aluminum telescoping legs for height adjustments.

Inside the cabinet are drawers for the nail guns, nails, and typical trim out tools. The compressor sat in the bottom of the cabinet.

Since the unit is on lockable wheels, we can roll it from room to room. It really sped up the trim out process.

Great post.

I was wondering about the sexy green button, too. It is a provocative execution—giving me lots of ideas, too! Thanks for sharing!

Nice workstation. I haven’t been using my MITRE saw when I should because I really don’t have the room to set it up right. Something like this would help out a lot. i really like the good ideas I get from fellow woodworkers on this site.

That is a great solution to limited shop space. Thank you for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

For anyone else interested, I got the cool green push button here

They’re not cheap, but these are pretty industrial strength switches. I’m expecting it to last for years.

Very innovative use of the Kreg Track and Stop Kit, Dan. Wow, I’d really like to see a video of those wings folding up and how everything secures together. Thanks very much for sharing!
