Here I thought I was the great procrastinator!!!

I really do need to build me one of these.
I’m currently using a C’man portable miter saw station, which takes up waaaaaaay to much room.
I remember seeing this plan and thought it would be a great solution.

I’ll be following along….

Hi Matt:
I like the design. Would you mind giving me the date and year or the number on that issue of FWW magazine? I have to build a stand for my new 12” sliding miter saw. I will enjoy any other tips about the construction that you have found while building your stand. I hope you can help.
Thank you.

I don’t have it available to me today…. I’ll look it up tomorrow for you.

I built the FWW miter saw stand earlier this year, pretty much an exact copy of the one in the magazine. I have been disappointed in the dust collection, but I have not taken the time to improve the design for better results. I think your alteration is a good move. Your dust collection will likely be better.

I hear ya Jeff…. I think some of the newer Euro saws have good DC on the saw, with a funnel trap built in behind the blade, but the hook up on the blade guard set up on my old Milwaukee misses ~75% of what the saw spits out.

I built a hood out of wood and cardboard that connects to my DC and it works pretty well. So I’ll transfer that set up over to this new stand.

in answer to Bigrock’s question…

the plans came from FWW issue # 209
