Sliding Compound Mitre Saw Station
I thought I would post a picture of the SCMS Station that I have just built with a few minor items to finish on it.
The design came out of the Timelife Books from the Woodsmith Series of Custom Woodworking.
The reason I built a stand alone station was because I have run out of wall space and I can put the wings down and push it into a corner so I can get the cars into the garage.Last edited by Barry_White; 3rd March 2004 at 10:28 PM.

Nice work. I think i'll make myself one of those
Any idea how much it cost all up for materials (roughly?)How much wood could the woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck could chuck wood?

Hi Dean
It took 2 sheets of 2400mm x 1200mm x 17mm Structual ply from Bunnings @ about $83.00 a sheet. I used some Meranti for the sides of the extension tables although this would have been better in hardwood say Tasmanian Oak. Some castors from Supercheap Autos @ $1.90 and various screws etc.
It probaly could have been built out of 18mm MDF. The only problem with MDF is when you screw into the edges you have to be careful it doesn't split.
If you need any other info send me a PM with your e-mail address.

Thanks

Hey stinky,
It is from the TimeLife series on Custom Woodworking - it is the "The Home Workshop" which I think is third in the series.
I cancelled after the third but the books are good.

Hi Barry,
I know this is a very old thread, but that is good! I want to ask how your mitre stand has held up over time.
My question is, have the fold out wings 'sagged' over time, hence dropping the work supports, bringing them out of alignment with the saw's base plate and fence?
Any other changes you would make to this plan, given the time you have used it for?
Many thanks,
Nathan.

Man how time flies I didn't realise how long ago I made this seven and a half years ago. Just as a reply to Nathan I will post a couple of pics to follow up on his PM to me. These also show a picture of my zero cut jig for the table saw as well as a reply to why the wings don't sag.

Thanks Barry. A nice, simple solution. Looks like its held up very well!
Thanks for the pic of the zero clearance setup too!
Nathan.

Those zero clearance base and fence are so handy for saws. I must build another one for mine!
