Mobile Miter Saw Station

Simple Mobile Miter Saw Station with Dust Collection and Storage

I recently upgraded my miter saw and wanted to build a compact mobile stand for its new home. It needed to be heavy duty with lockable casters so I could move it around the workshop and outside for large projects.
So I designed this simple miter saw station that fits my needs. I hope you can get some inspiration from it too.

Just came across this video and while it is three years old, I wanted to give some advice to others who might see this while planning for their own miter saw station. If you put the two side leafs upside down on a flat work bench or floor, and then position then prop the main stand upside down on two wood pieces the exact height of the saw base, you don't have to fight gravity with clamps and extra wood when aligning and attaching the hinges.

I have decided to start a woodworking business from my home and just purchased my first mitre saw. I've been researching stands all day and decided to check YT to see what was out there and crossed your video. LOVE this idea. I don't have a 'shop' and am using my garage for now. So having a place to store the saw on this stand is perfect for what I need. I will be doing this project next for sure!

[kentshrader]

You have given this beginner some really helpful ideas. As I build mine I will build the back board and two sides higher so as to have a better chance of collecting (or at least containing) more dust. Also, mounting the dust port on the back board just across from the exhaust port will collect (I believe) more dust than mounting it on the bottom. Staining the boards made the project very attractive. Great job!

[janinelew]

As a new woodworker this project looks easy enough for me to tackle. I started building a workbench yesterday and learned how to use my pocket hole jig. Cutting 8foot 2x4’s was a little hard on the miter saw so I definitely need that stand. I think this will be my next project. Thanks!

[bennybologna]

Love the table, but I don't like the loose 2x4's for the wing supports. I would probably have put a support structure on on hinges that swing out to support the wings, and then fold back in. Just my 2 cents, but love it otherwise.

[TheZambookie]

Just started building this myself. Miter stands are anywhere from 200-300+ dollars and do the most basic thing. Hold the saw. This idea costs maybe 50 or 60 dollars for everything and gives you storage space and movement. Think I'm really going to love it. Video is super clear and easy to follow. Got a new subscriber. Thank you

[kringles]

Like the cabinet/cart. Would use 2×4 for legs and 1x3 for the remainders. Think I would use a piano hinge for the drop leaves. Would use a butterfly wing to support the extensions and attach it to the back leg to allow mounted storage. I only use my miter saw outside due to small workshop and DUST. Portable wheel cart beats carrying the saw to an outside location. Thanks for the detailed information and sharing!

I absolutely love your videos! I am a 64 yr old grandma that just got into woodworking. You make things so easy even this old gal can make it! Thank you for all your efforts & allow us to see whoopsies too! When I make mistakes I know I learned something! Thank you again! You are appreciated!

[markkoons]

Since you made a point of inviting comments, I'd have given the caster pattern a broader stance laterally and made the wings as long as possible. That said, I like your project for its direct approach and quick build. I have mixed emotions about elaborate shop furniture projects. The negative aspect is that it is like making yourself the most elaborate Christmas present of all. That's a thumbs up for you.

[jackdernorsek]

I just bought my first miter saw and thinking of very nearly the same thing although had not thought of the wings. I did some experiments and have decided to make a rear thin sheet wall (1/4" plywood maybe) that slides up for greater sawdust retention, and go with a rectangle opening bin under the rear of the saw, from about half way under the miter table and up to the sheet wall, then incorporate a small vacuum in the table to allow a local hose for clean up. But seeing yours gives me even more ideas. Thanks.

[TaySC]

Love the build as it can be done with what I have lying around in my garage. Simple, yet solid. Thanks for the video!

[dellmcl]

the simplicity of this build is a real strength for novice builder's like myself. Thanks for sharing. You prompted my creativity.

[keithridgeway]

Great idea. Going to add a couple of things to it. Making it to where I can interchange the miter saw with my sander, grinding wheel, and a vise. Will store all under the table. Additionally, I am making a stop sled that attaches to the wings for repeated cuts of the same measurement. Adding a plywood box cover for storage when not in use. This is the best idea I have seen to this point for a portable miter saw table.

[heatherharrison]

I am a beginner and really need something like this. Looks simple enough to make. Thank you for this great video!

[smittyjones]

Man that's a great idea! I've been debating building a miter station into my workbench, but I'm just working in my normal 2 car garage, where cars are also parked when I'm not working. I don't think I could sacrifice that space! A folding and mobile miter station though may just do the trick! I'm thinking some kind of a slot to stick those support brackets on the back, because I know my knobby knees would smack that board every time I walked by!

[markkoons]

Thumbs up, Guy, but I'd like to encourage everyone who feasibly can to buy their 2xs ahead of time, stand them separated and on end to quickly air dry them, then joint and saw the stock square. Shop projects will have a longer, happier lifespan that way. I live in Wyoming and more than 40 years ago asked a lumberman what the grade stamp "semi-dry" meant on his 2x4s. He said it meant they were dried on the semi on the way down from Montana.

[mosescervantez]

I recently and finally purchased me a miter saw and have been surfing the web for some simple tables and found came across this video. I love this idea because I’m going to be working out of a small storage building for now and this is an awesome space saver. Thank ya sir 🫡

[jeremystrait]

This is an improved version of the portable miter station I was planning. One thing I would change is maybe put a magnet on the side support and just place it vertically along the front of the station. Great design!!!

[russjohnson]

So refreshing to see that you made it from 2x4s and basic plywood, instead of expensive Baltic birch plywood!

[Tonyp]

If you pause on 6:08 you can see there is about 5 inches of space. I would extend the wings to the length of the stand frame to give it a clean profile looks when stowed. Thinking this might be my weekend project. Nice job!
