Thread: Show us you Mitre Saw Stands/Tables/Bench

I built a box around mine with the dust extractor connected, behind on the base of the box to suck up all the dust that the vacume that is connected to the saw missed.

Been pretty good so far. I switch on the dust extractor and give it a blast of compressed air every week or so. There is a triton prefilter before the vacume so I don't have to change bags all the time.

Are they all flatpak cupboards timberbits?

Not very exciting, I know. But very portable and I need to move it regularly.

But then you could also look at the lower end of the market!


Cheers

You can see a scms saw table made of metal frame and ply wood which folds up and has wheels on it at this site under machinery.

Like almost everything in my shed, the mobile table for my SCMS is made of scavenged scraps of this and that.
The saw that I have is the Bosch GCM10SD, so the little brother of the 12 inch model.
This table is designed to be wheeled out and the front wheels locked when in use, and then pushed back against the wall when not needed.
I use those cheap roller supports that you get from Go-lo or Bunnies etc for about $15, for any long lengths.
I toyed with the idea of a longer fixed bench has for a while, then decided that the roller supports would be more useful, as I can use them with the table saw and the thicknesser as well. I bought 2.
This table is about as simple as they come - very useful though.

Scribbly Gum How do you find the cheap roller supports? Im seriously considering getting 2 then just mounting My saw on a Folding work bench or maybe something like yours.

They used to be everywhere.
They are a folding inverted Y shaped square section metal tubed stand that has a metal roller on the top. The roller is about 300mm long. The stand is adjustable for height with a cheap plastic lever covered nut to tighten it in position. Folds up to lean against the wall when not in use.
Every hardware catalogue used to carry them and probably still do, I haven't been looking. Cost me $15 each at the time. I even saw them in Bi-Lo.
I find them very useful and versatile.

Ps Oops ...I may have mis-read your post.
If you meant Are they any good?
Then yes - not heavy duty, and not made for tradesmen, but fine for a hobbyist like me.

The top cupboards are flat-pack from Aldi which were on special over 3 years for $60 each it think. Because the sliding compound miter saw needs to be 890mm out from the wall, I couldn't get flat-pack for the base. I knew it would cost me way too much from a kitchen guy so I decided to make it my self. Took about 2 weeks worth but well worth it in the end. To get to the top cupboards I use a seat to get me up to the bench and walk on the bench.

Heep's of storage in the bench now. The draws are full extension.

I like your setup TB...

I am still trying to get my shed setup...currently have my dewalt setup on a Ryobi stand so I can use it while I am finishing off the shed. I am planning to have a fixed bench too so I will use yours as a guide (copying is the greatest form of flattery so they say)

Seriously very well done

Hi all, here are some pictures of some improvements I made to my Bosch 12'' Slide Saw. Set up includes- a zero clearance insert, inserts in either end of the bed, and an auxiliary fence. Simple stuff made out of pine but it all combines to make for a more accurate and easier cutting process.

Cheers, Matt

Room is always a problem,

This bench has starting on the left router with incra guide, extension table. circular under bench saw with incra guide, jigsaw table and then the drop saw followed by extraction fan all on a single rolling trolley, also underneath on a slide sytem beneath the extension table is a scroll saw which pulls out

Simso,

That is a very compact and efficient setup. I like it.

A few pictures of my miter saw table.
It helps to give more benchspace when not in use.

Pic 1 Just a workbench.
Pic 2 Lift the lid and open the doors.
Pic 3 Lift the saw and close the doors-ready to work.
Pic 4 Extension raised and Incra fence and stop fitted.
