I built a semi mobile miter saw station. One of the best additions I made to it was adding an inlayed measuring tape about 1/16th below the surface. I accomplished this by routing a groove and inserting a long adhesive backed magnet that you can get in rolls from amazon. I then laid in one of those measuring tapes used to attach to tools such as a table saw. The beauty of using the magnetic strip is that you can tune and fine adjust the ape measure because its not permanently adhered to the station, only stuck down via the magnet strip. I then added an acrylic tab to the adjustable stop that has a shallow cut in it which is filled with red marker. This is a simple way to make a cursor to line up the stop. I also added a flip to the stop and an adjustable miter stop but I wont get into that here.

More and more the stand alone toe kick base makes so much more sense than building a toe kick into each cabinet box. To be able to level the whole thing and then work off of a common level base simplifies things so much, especially if your floors are less than perfect.

19:08 - When cutting metal it's important to get a good bite into the material, if you are pressing lightly then the heat is probably not leaving in the waste swarf but allowing it to spread to the blade, making the blade get hotter than it would otherwise. There's also the possibilty that you can press too hard and create extra heat too while also chipping/breaking the cutting edges. A good middle ground of pressure is required.

All I’m gonna say is…. The J. M. Dawley mitersaw measurement rail and stop..,is hands down the best you can get… short of an automated one. You can get ONE aluminum extruded rail that is up to 8’ long… maybe 10’. The “stop system” is amazing, as you can put in MULTIPLE stops on the back of the rail, and the sliding stop , stops on them.. or can go past them. Say… for a cabinet shop that cuts a few measurements ALL THE TIME.. so, just put in stops on the rail system, and it will always be dead on! It’s the best!!

I work in the trim industry. I’ve only used two miter saws, the Kapex, and the Hitachi C10 FSH. It’s undeniable that the Kapex is more accurate but under powered (as all Festool tools are😣) The Kapex has zero travel out the back but the Hitachi has the slides that run out the back. Also, the Hitachi is more powerful. However, on the job site, you basically just said the Saw up wherever, not necessarily up against the wall when you have to worry about space. Just food for thought; I am not in any way trying to influence the way you buy tools for your shop. Great video.

Good video Michael. Here's a tip for enlarging a forstner bit hole when you make one that is too small. Take the new larger bit (the size you want the hole to be) and drill a hole in a piece of scrap. Now place the new larger hole in the scrap, over the hole that is too small -- you can clamp it, hot glue it, brad nail it, stand on it or what ever is convenient. Now use this hole to guide the outside of the larger forstner bit instead of the center spur. Once the hole is enlarged remove the scrap piece. It's an old trick used to make door-knob holes bigger in old doors.

The narrow drawers next to the saw are a nice touch. The "toe kick" is a great foundation and makes life easier ever afterward.

Very nice build! However I will add the same small critique that I have with several of the miter stations I've seen. There's a lot of custom fabrication specific to this particular saw. I realize it's a Festool and should last a long time, but u just never know. If/when you have to replace it, there will be significant modification required to fit a new saw... unless the replacement is the same unit, or is shorter and narrower. I'm planning to make my shelf slightly deeper than the height of most saws, then shim the saw up flush to the top. The shelf will also be slightly wider than most saws. Then the only custom fab will be narrow fillers to bridge btwn the bench top surface and the edge of the saw base on both sides.

I've got a couple of tips for you. I noticed that your Milwaukee drill dropped the hole saw as you finished drilling, that usually happens when you are on the corners of the arbor and not the flats. It's also a well known issue with Milwaukee drill chucks, which leads me to my second tip, the run out. Milwaukee drills have sloppy keyless chucks. But you know who don't? The Germans. There is a company called Rohm who makes machinist tools and they make a bolt on replacement for Milwaukee drills. They have the standard 1/2"-20, as well as the 9/16"-18 that they made specifically for the M18 Fuel drills. They're great, I had one on my 3rd gen Fuel and abused the hell out of it for several years before the drill got stolen. As far as the right angle adapter goes, they are great for occasional use but the internals heat up very quickly and shatter under heavy use. Just putting that out there in case anyone was thinking about trying to use one for drilling joists etc.

We just did a 25 foot run of RTA kitchen cabinets in the original part of a house that's 110 years old, the floor was out a full inch over that span and leveling them independently was incredibly tedious, but some built ins we made custom for the living room we were able to put on separate kick and it was a walk in the park. Not a criticism here, I own a Foreman and use pocket holes regularly, but I don't understand why anyone uses them to knock cabinet carcasses together.

Baltic birch plywood is now EXTREMELY pricy even in here Finland. Even when our woods are full of birch...

Very much looking forward to building this and the lathe section, as I have a similar size lathe for making pens. This combination will consolidate my tools and make much more usable space in the garage shop. By the way, I did make your framing sled and it works marvelously! I'm a fearless frame now.

Genuine and quality work, you tcoud build kitchen modules. Those that are available is mostly made by really low quality materials, like sawdust and glue. And if you can make a deal with a housbuilder, then there are good money to make. Fitted build kitchens are a good business, and people are paying good money for a counter topp made of a unique piece of wood.

Purchased these plans a few weeks ago! I am in the middle of the build now. Michael, what shop vac are you using for this project?

Fantastic build! The beauty shots are the whole reason I bought the plans, which are equally excellent!
