Shop Projects: Ultimate Miter Saw Station

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This project has been a few months in the making from conceptual design, 3D modeling, and construction. It takes everything I have learned over the years and incorporates my wish list items I knew I would always implement when I built this. In the past I have built simple benches with cheap materials but this time around I decided to build something to last me a long time. It features built in dust extraction, trash/drop bin storage, a kreg fence system for accurate cutting, and integrated storage on both wings. The center cabinet is removable and can be mobile in the shop as needed. Remember to subscribe as there will be 2 other parts to this series with upper cabinets and a dust collection shroud.

    Hi Brian - I've gotten started and am really enjoying the build. Nice job on the plans! I have finished the cut list and am starting assembly. I've collected some minor errata for you in the PDF that I'd encourage you to consider. Errata - 1. Page 4, Cut List 2, Parts L and M: The indicated measurements of 17 ½” for those two parts are incorrect. They should be 18”. I read the plans without realizing the arrows were not the full width of the cut, (they stop 1/2"short at the rabbet - this was probably overlooked when the CAD tool locked onto that line instead of the correct one.) I ended up cutting all four panels too short by ½”. Luckily the error applied to all four panels equally so the cabinet will still assemble no problem. 2. Page 8: Side panels should be labelled L, not M. 3. Page 6: Part labelled L should be M. M should be L. 4. Page 11: Part I should be A 5. Page 5: Part N. Measuring the hinge hole centers from the centerline of the board is inconsistent and less easy as measuring from the edge, as you did for Part M directly above. Recommended - 1. Add all plywood and hardwood to the materials list. 2. Since cutting an 8’ length of heavy plywood is impractical for some, (me for sure at any rate, maybe others too), breaking down the sheet across the width is the first step. To that end: a. Cut List 1 on page 3, for the bottom sheet of plywood on that page, rearrange panels to minimize cuts. At minimum shift the right G panel to the right to align with left edge of F panel above it. b. Cut List 2 on page 3, for the top sheet of plywood on that page, rearrange panels to minimize cuts. At minimum shift the right G panel to the right to align with left edge of F panel above it. c. Cut List 2 on page 4, for the middle sheet of plywood on that page, rearrange panels to minimize cuts. At minimum shift the right M panel to the right to align with left edge of N panel above it. 3. Label plywood boards (1-6) to aid in referencing them 4. Provide table of uses for parts A-R (e.g. M parts are top and bottom of center cabinet) 5. Part J is not used in the plans after the Cut Lists, but is assumed to be shelves. 6. Page 5: Replace “nest” with “list” These are all trivial bugs, overall the project is going quite well, you've done great work! I recommend it to others. I took your advice to buy pre-finished plywood, thank you for emphasizing that. I will send some pictures when I'm done! Best, Richard

    Nice build, at first I thought "splay lacquer? too overkill" but then I realized if I'm going to build something for me and it'll be used in a daily basis better be nice and make me feel good to be in that space...very nice job man!

    Thank you! I would not have sprayed this (other than the countertops) if I had no material kicking around, I would just have used prefinished plywood. Prefinished plywood around here is only about $10-15 more than natural cabinet grade maple so it's definetly worth it. My garage is below grade on both sides so during the humid months I get a lot of moisture so anything exposed can get moldy. This being off the ground will help and the lacquer will keep the plywood from picking up any of that excessive moisture (hopefully). But as you said, if you're going to build something you use every day for the rest of your life you might as well build it nice!

    I am a beginner wood worker and you are obviously very talented and knowledgeable. I am going to build a mobile miter saw stand. I want it mobile so it ill be easy to move if I move and it is in my garage so I may want to move it in there. First video I have seen of yours and I will subscribe. My only comment, and I see this on other videos, is I like to see the finished product real well at the beginning and at the end so I can stop and really look it over. Sometimes people just jump in and I don't have a really good picture of what I am building. Show it off a little more. Great video.

    Very nice build, and well-detailed explanations. The musical background was surprisingly pleasant, and low enough we could still hear you, in contrast to many other videos. There were a couple times I could not follow what you were saying; it might help to slow down just a tad. Safety: At 9:38, you held the door to the trash compartment in one hand and drill a hole with the other - and that spade bit was aimed right your stomach! That could cause a terribly wicked, life altering injury! Take the door off, lay it down, clamp it, and drill in a position where you have control. Be safe! Best wishes.

    Hi Brian, good build. Looks very tidy. Can you tell me what model mitre saw you have. Looks like a bosch. Hopefully I can just use your plans without adjustments.

    Nice job, simple but not spartan. I've looked at too many mitre saw station videos, finally pulled the trigger and have bought your plans and will be getting started shortly. In the video you recommend using better legs/feet than the ones you did, and mentioned they would be called out in the plans. I didn't see them in the BOM. Did you find better legs? I did see the ones you ended up using, are they still ok for you? Thanks! Looking forward to building it! Richard from San Diego, CA

    You mention having an issue with mold. Do you keep one or two dehumidifiers in that space?

  • @briancnc

    @briancnc

    None, it was a water ingress problem since resolved. I had an issue of keeping plywood or wood on the ground, especially MDF as it absorbs so much moisture. I since designed and built a plywood/lumber cart that keeps everything organized and off the ground and is now a non issue. (see my video for this it's really nice!)

    Brian, so with your 32nd of an inch spacing (sides and fence back) do you then just make sure that when you go to cut something, you make sure you are registered off the saw's fence? This is NOT a smart a$$ question. I genuinely want to know. Goes back to the fence vs fence less miter station. Thanks.

    Yes, the only part that matters is to have the board up against the saw fence. The outboard fences are only means of using the measures stop blocks for repetitive cuts. Hope this helps.

    can you go further in depth on your thoughts on your dust collection for this bosch miter saw. I have the same saw with a 6" 5HP clearview cyclone system. I have tried every way to collect the saw dust and fine dust from my station/enclosed box, with swinging doors, that is similar to yours. I used to have a 6" port sucking from under the saw box, but changed it to overhead when I ran new duct work configuration. I have found that the vent pull through the top of the box does not work well. but a new route from the overhead main trunkline to the bottom of the saw will require a U-turn on the ducting verses the existing straight drop down from the trunk line. I am even thinking about running an additional shopvac on the tiny 1" factory dust port. what are your thoughts of duct from the top, or side or beneath the saw/box and on using the tiny factory port. all the videos on youtube are for beginners trying to cut corners. I have spent a lot of money on my set-up and expect better performance. I also have blast gates at every down drop from the trunk line hung from 11' ceiling. since I have several blast gates at the 11' high ceiling, do you have any experience with electronically controlling blast gates?

  • @briancnc

    No experience with electronically controlled blast gates but there are a few systems out there if you google them, for your setup it sounds like a good investment. I haven't gotten this far on the miter saw other than the festool vac hooked up to it. I would say that gets at least half but def. the direct saw dust and the other half I'm hoping to get with the dust collection (the indirect cloud of dust that permeates in the vicinity of the saw. Dust collectors are much better at the latter. A 6" 5hp cyclone should be doing you justice but spreading out on a shop with 11' ceilings I can imagine that you might have some difficulty depending on how far the miter saw is from the dust collector.

    @@briancnc ha, agreed. my point which wasn't articulated particularly well is that of all the adjectives one can use to describe their project, miter saw builds seem to favor 'ultimate', it's humorous.
