In my old shop, I never really had room for a proper miter station. I dealt with it but also ways to move things out of the way to cut an 8′ piece of material and come up with creative (and some times dangerous) stop block situations. In the new shop, I have plenty of space, so it was time to make a dedicated place to use the miter saw. I didn’t want to go overboard with storage or complexity and wanted it to still be relatively compact. I also had 2 days to build it in between projects, so it had to be simple.The only real requirements for me were that it had to be cheap, easy, fast and it needed a sliding stop block system. I think I hit all of those points while still getting a solid work surface that has PLENTY of space for future improvement in the form of storage. There is space above and below to add storage and the simply dust collection ports help keep the whole area clean.

What kind of dust extraction do you have for those ports?
That’s bad ass. I’m totally going to use this as a guide for my mitre station. Thank you for this.
This is the best “simple” miter saw station I’ve seen. I just might need to do the same creation. Great vid
Abajo el serrucho de lado para cortar 45 grados como lo arias
👍
this is an awesome video .. thanks for sharing
Did he say where he got the dust collection ports/funnels?
Don’t charge for your plans. That’s lame. Make money in a different way.
Hi – question for you – from start to finish how long did the whole project take? thanks
instead of a fence and a T track on the fence for the stop block why not just T track on the table top with the stop block on the table?
Hello Bob, what size of wood did you use before cutting, and what sizes did you cut them to?
this saw station is nice enough, what matters is that it is functional and has room to store some underneath it too
This is far from bare bones… lol Great build
Which model of dewalt miter saw Is???
Great video, good ideas for a beginner/expandable miter table. My only gripe is the word you said repeatedly at the end…"ruler". As my shop teacher used to go off about, "Stalin was a ruler, Hitler was a ruler, that is a scale!" Or measuring tape would also be acceptable. Just my peeve, but again, good job on a simple, sturdy table with dust collection. I also noticed that you didn’t lay the saw for 45° cuts. I guess if you don’t use your miter saw for miter work, only for straight cuts that is fine. I watched someone who held the face of the box with magnets to make it easily removable.
Not deep enough to fit my DWS779 … of course I didn’t find that out till AFTER it was assembled. Not a hard fix, but alas, Murphy got me.
This is perfect, simple yet effective build, exactly what i was looking for. Will build myself something similar to this! Thanks
Thank you! Great and very straight to the point! All the best from Russia!
The shop and the amount of money for just doing it in the beginning as a hobby. Is insane. Nice job
Hi what is the model of the mitre saw?
Easy
Thanks Man!
Simple, great and easy to use.
That’s for me… 🙂
Absolutely good idea!
You already have a flat work station for your mitre saw to make those accurate cuts, defeating the need for a mitre saw bench. Most people making a mitre saw bench don’t already have one obviously.
Great job i need to make one as well but i also want to addy a router table into it as well. Thoughts??
This design doesn’t really take into account a compound miter cut. It’s not something I do often, so I didn’t build it in. If you need that, it’s just a matter of enlarging the center section a bit and changing the shroud to allow for that motion.
i love how you work : like a NORMAL PERSON
When you screw in your pocket screws from the inside, angled towards the edge of the board you are screwing into you make it weaker. Just FYI
is there a reason that you used pocket screws for the two side tables, but just butt screws for the centre mitre table section?
Excellent. Very functional, thank you.
Wow, this is perfect. Please come build me one!
What model number is your Kreg hole jig, I’ve been looking for that one for a while and cannot find it
Most important question: Where did you get that Shirt with the Lego-Space-Logo from the 80s?
Just perfect lumber
Just about done a workshop build. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for – bought the plans!!!
Perfect solution for my needs! Saw your video today and wondering if there’s a link somewhere for plans? Thanks
I said the same thing 🤣🤣🤣
A question: I’m modeling my build off of this design using some kitchen cabinets as the left/right bases. If you had the space, would you have made one side of the stand longer, say to trim 6′ finish lengths? I’m debating this as I have the space (for now) , or will I seldom use this long length and maybe better off putting the space to other use? Thanks!!
Do you have measurements for height?
How tall are the two main boxes?
Looks like you forgot something at 7:47 – hate when that happens!
It doesn’t have to be pretty as long it’ s functional
Man I don’t know what the hell this video is about it was not a tutorial you went way too fast and nothing made sense…
Looks great, the fences with the runner and stop blacks are a great idea.
Love this thanks for the upload 👍👍
Thanks, brilliant idea
👍👍👍👍
Thanks again Sir 👍
PLEASE turn off the music when you’re talking. Liked your video.
This is absolutely the easiest, simplest, no frills miter saw station I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing it!!
