My Precision Fence System for the Miter Saw

I've gotten a lot of questions and interest about my miter saw fence system. It's really quite simple. I'm using an aluminum extrusion profile manufactured by Misumi Engineering as a t-track within my miter station top. I then use a set of brackets to attach a wider and taller extrusion to the t-track to create a fence. A shop made flip stop and a measuring tape along the fence extrusion offer accuracy and repeatability. Furthermore, the profiles are compatible with a myriad of clamping and hold down accessories.

    I am building my miter saw station as I type and have been holding back because of the prices I have been finding for fence systems. Found your page by accident and I am so happy I did. I bookmarked this video so I can watch it again when I have more time and will be checking out Misumi Engineering tomorrow when I get to work. I will be ordering my new Bosch CM10GD miter saw next week after a long search. I have been a trim carpenter and builder for 30 years and demand quality in my tools. Can't thank you enough :)

    The timing of this video is perfect. I'm about to construct my miter saw station and your track system will surely make it into my station. Thanks for sharing.

    I just ordered my items from Misumi and was impressed at how quickly and inexpensively they shipped.

    Thanks for the video, definitely a less costly, and more customizable, solution than the packed systems I've been looking at.

    FYI - most guys who use a fence versus embedded t-track put the fence behind the fence of the miter saw since a bowed/banana looking board isn’t possible to square up when rubbing on that extended fence. The fence on the miter saw itself is plenty long to square the stock and the other fence is really only helpful for measuring and making end stops.

    Exactly what I was looking for for a radial arm saw and miter saw duel station. Very excited. Thanks and keep up the good work.

    I like how you set it up to slide back and forward to use different zero clearance fences.Good long straight edge and you good to easily set for ayn of them. Nice job.

    First of all, ROLL TIDE! I live just south of Huntsville and ran across your shop tour from earlier this month. I am rearranging my shop and actually planned to build an outfeed table very similar to yours. I started looking at Misumi based on your previous video and I really appreciate you going into more detail since they have a ton of options on their site. You are doing a great job and can't wait to see more videos.

    Very well done, informative and very professional. I have watched 3 of your videos and will probably check out all the rest. I have seen several tips and designs that have peaked my interest. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for this very helpful video. I ordered parts from Misumi for the one I am building and was very impressed with their website and prices. I am primarily interested in making picture frames and was able to come up with a design using parts from Misimi that should make it highly accurate and fun to use. Thank you for helping me source those parts.

    Fantastic info! Not sure how I missed this when it was posted over a year ago but I will definitely be using this fence method in place of my current set up. I’m actually located down here in Mobile so I’m a fellow Alabama woodworker:) thanks for sharing your knowledge!
