Thanks for the kind words.
Just a few points that I highlight. If I had my time again. What I would change is as follows.
1. Instead of having a separate vacuum cleaner, I would of just split the 100mm hose and run the whole thing off the dust extractor.
2. Made a slight incline so that the back of the box ran down to the air intake to help drain the dust to the air intake.
3. I wouldn't of used a aluminum fence, I would of made a melamine or MDF fence. (but i was given a aluminum one so I forced myself to use it.)
4. Put a few power points at waist level (getting in an electrician to wire it correctly of course).
I hope you make a wonderful bench that your kids would fight over.

Here's mine not as fancy as some ,but it works and is very accurate.
Mandraulicly operated so no need for lectrickery .
I do have a powered SCMS by the famous Ryobi but the Stanley craps all over it for accuracy.

Not sure if Stanley still market a mitre box like this one .I think they have a plastic one like you would make your self from timber.
These turn up on Ebay occasionally , but usually are incomplete .I had to spend some time getting this one back to the condition it is in now.
I still need to make a board to mount it on with a bench hook ,it slides around on my bench some times.It is supposed to have screws with points in the feet to prevent slipping when using.

Mine just sits on an old table. The box is made of s/h craftwood doors and I only remove the side if I wish to make an angle cut. The router table provides support on the in feed side and a roller stand on the out feed if necessary. The DC stands beside.

3 years late to reply to a bump and in the face of an "old thread" warning, but here's photos of my new SCMS bench. I figure the more the merrier in this thread as I myself was trawling through this website just recently trying to find ideas for such a bench...
The plywood construction of the upper section is based on a design from an Aussie magazine's online article, and the lower section is just designed to suit out of the old kitchen from our house. Features include:
- Sliding wings in the track fixed in with star knobs makes for easier handling of long stock.
- Angled gaurds above rear castor wheels prevent the SCMS saw hitting the walls in any location when blade is closest in to saw fence.
- Removable off-cut bin.
- Upper plywood section is removable if neccessary to take out on site where it could be sat upon two saw horses.
Has anyone else got the same Hitachi C10FSH drop saw? It annoyed me that the cutting surface is not dead flat and even with carefully placed packers underneath to try and bend it back flat is still not perfect when bolted to the bench. Also, I had to pull apart the laser to find the hidden grub screws to realign the laser to be true 90 degrees. (ie not just the left right adjustment knob convieniently located on right hand side of laser).
Cheers!

Removable off cut bin, genius! Sometimes the most obvious ideas are too hard to think of.

This is an old desk which has a motor to raise and lower it. (used for people in wheelchairs, I think)
It is handy because it can be levelled to match the surrounding benches height for long projects.
At lunchtime, it makes a good table.
