miter saw station

[ericbuggeln]

I had to take these pictures to show someone, but more on that later. I built this five years ago and can say that it has really held up nicely. When I finally can afford a Kapex I am gonna build a new one for that and keep this set up for decks only. The wings are trimmed out with oak, dominoed together. I laid a blind dado in the legs with a t track before I cut the curve and the t knobs allow it to be raised or lowered. I used door hinges to attach the wings to the plate that the saw rests on. I bungee each leg when I move it. For the Kapex I am going to use MultiBlades Kapex connectors and make the wings a little wider so that the legs can be a little wider and hopefully more stable. This comes into play when using the 3/4 holes and Festool screw clamp while coping crown.

Let me know what you guys think, hopefully helps someone, Eric

Thanks for sharing, looks nice and practical.
Personally I'm not a fan of the scissor-legged tables. and a possible improvement if you make the wider legs is to incorporate stock storage, that's the aspect of Ron Paulk's miterstand that looked very usefull to me.
