Portable
Miter Saw Station
A sliding compound miter saw is
a valuable addition to any shop.
But like any tool, it can always be
upgraded to give you better results
and more convenient use. Build-
ing the workstation you see in the
photo above will do just that. The
workstation provides a sturdy base
for your saw, as well as extended
support for long workpieces. It can
be incorporated into your shop as
a permanent fixture, but at the
same time it’s designed to be eas-
ily moved when necessary.
The workstation has four compo-
nents: a sturdy base, a platform that
holds the miter saw, and two adjust-
able extension wings (see drawing
at left). For portability, all the com-
ponents are designed to be easily
assembled and disassembled.
All the parts are cut from

" ply-
wood. There’s nothing difficult or
sophisticated about the construc-
tion — simple joinery, glue and
screws provide the strength.
The base of the workstation is
constructed so the two rails form
a channel that lightly sandwiches
the saw platform and the extension
wings. This allows you to reposi-
tion the extension wings easily by
simply sliding them along the base.
T-nuts are installed in the base that
are used along with star knobs to
lock down the wings, as shown in
the inset photo above.
When planning and building the
workstation, you need to keep a
couple things in mind. First, the
height of the extension wing beds
needs to match the height of the
saw when it’s mounted on the
workstation. Second, the saw
should be mounted on the platform
so that the fence lines up with the
fences on the extension wings.
