Making Table Saw Station with Flip Top Mitre Saw

In this episode of Shop Antics I am customizing my old workbench. Finally I decided to add a table saw station and a flip top miter saw to my old workbench from thick plywood.

That music is like an assault on my ears!

[@tomassanchez8960]

I gotta say I really appreciate this channel. We are constantly watching these creators like tom sachs and van neistat that make it look so easy because they already went through the struggle. But you portray a more real project, working with what you have and making it work, this really highlights your ingenuity and incredible problem solving skills. Keep it up!!

[@jaredtabla3234]

I love that you explained everything after you made the table. Many people finish their build and give the project a once over with the camera... AND THAT'S A WRAP!?!? Genius build! Love it!

[@OpusX2010X]

Good solution for a small shop. I like the practical approach, not over engineered with dowels, pin nails, domino's, screws and glue .... just what is needed. Keep it up!

[@AdventureBoumd]

good job man! Hello from the USA - I want to make this! Thanks

[@17jflor]

Good inspiration for a setup I'm considering.

[@jstrick38us]

I love the design of this workbench! It looks like you could easily mount a router by the table saw under the insert you made to cover the hole. Then you could use the saw fence for the router table as well.

[@garymassey2285]

That will be on my tombstone: I'm not sure how to do this, but I am gonna go for it and hope it works out. I love it!

[@iljanster]

Hahah awesome ! Thank you man

[@margaritistakiskailos]

Great project ! I thing that is how the ideal workbench must look like! Thanks for sharing ! 👍

[@danielrisberg2112]

I like your video! Nice looking table. Thanks for posting!

[@gurshaanbasra3639]

This is basically the exact table i want

[@yourmomsdildo3938]

Great idea for the miter saw. I was literally just standing in my garage looking at the bench the previous owner made, which is sturdy butcher block top so I wanted to keep it, but need to incorporate my miter saw some how and I may look into doing the flip top idea now. Thanks. Great music and quality video. Gained a new sub.

[@iljanster]

Cheers Buddy!

Very good. I like it very much. Thank you! Many greetings from Munich!

Awesome table. But that music being horn in left ear percussion in other ear is driving me nuts lol

[@msinansanatolye]

Good work.. You have given me a good idea to build a foursome table (with table saw, planner vs)

[@iljanster]

Glad to hear that

[@prmskeepr]

Love the music. Thanks

[@markk3701]

Great build! This has inspired me to redo my bench! That cord is going to get in your way so I would cut a whole in the wood behind the miter saw and when you flip it you can put it through. when your not using it there will be a hole there so what you do is make a wood plug with a hole cutting bit and a flat 1/8" of square wood glued onto it. When your done using the miter saw you just push that back into the hole and it appears as if there isnt a whole at all.

[@iljanster]

This is an awesome idea, I am totally going to do that , thank you dude

[@miguelcervantes1034]

Wow! 👍

[@larryrussell2019]

[@johnnylabedzki]

Hey man, awesome build. Can you explain a bit more the bolt and bearing combo you used to let the miter saw stand flip. I'm not 100% sure how it works. Thanks

[@gg1378]

Best flip top miter table I’ve seen. Clean and doesn’t look to hard to try and recreate (as a beginner). Only thing I couldn’t gather was the bolts to hold it in place. They don’t show on the top, so how’d you get it to stay attached with the downward weight? Threaded inserts? Love the channel, I’ll be shouting you out soon if I can figure out how to build it😩.

[@iljanster]

Hey, thanks a lot🙏🏼 The bolts were the thick threaded wood screws (8x50mm) they went all the way through the plywood and then I’ve cut them of with an angle grinder. Then I applied some filler on them and painted the whole thing 😊 hope that helps

[@Lodochnik]

I just vibe from your videos man. Really well done, keep it up

[@angelwings197]

Bought this for my friend for his birthday, and he loves it. Father-in-law was a little jealous, even. :) Built solid, but light enough to move around for projects. Easy to use kzbin.infoUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe and makes great precision cuts. Doesn't come with a laser mount, but the fence is straight as an arrow and if you measure carefully, it's not a problem. Can handle dimensional lumber with ease, but of course, there's a limit to how thick. Handled a 4x4" post without a problem, but 4x6" we had to flip and cut twice. Only thing we've noticed is make sure to tighten the nut that holds the saw blade when you take it out of the box and maybe check up on it occasionally. For some, this is probably a no-brainer, but we neglected to do this and a few months in, found the motor running but the blade spinning at about half speed or less. Tightened the nut, and problem was solved. Very happy with this purchase. Dewalt makes sturdy stuff.

[@HandsonHensley]

Nice work on the bench. Also, thanks for cussing randomly to remind me to turn my phone down when my kids are in the room!

[@iljanster]

Sorry bro..😅

[@Kokoras1980]

good evening my friend i really liked the bench too bravo show us any better idea from florina Greece and Western Macedonian 🇬🇷👍

[@iljanster]

Thank you my man!

[@starstreetadventures]

Consider adding a positive stop to that rotating mitre saw table. I noticed there is some play when you have the two bolts installed. This could mess up finer cuts later on.

[@TheducksOrg]

Love the design - I'm looking to build something pretty much the same - long and thin with a flip mitre saw.

[@holimanjl]

Music, design, info and you. I like it all homie. Great work and sorry to see about the fire. Come back stronger bro! Oh and the intro 👌

Nice job.

[@yassineelhamdi9937]

Best flip up video. Just curious. Did you glue the bearings to the wood or not. If the bearings are rotation inside the hole. The wood may deform a little bit. I am right.

[@iljanster]

Thank you man! Nope, no glue there, the bearings stays in place and they don’t move inside of the wood, the inside part of the bearing is what moves. Its been a while since I’ve made this table and everything still works like a clock

[@yassineelhamdi9937]

@@iljanster thank you so much. I am going to build my workbench this week. Again I watch a ton of videos and this one is the best ever. And the bearings technique looks very clean. thank you again

[@dlk1203]

I've watched a ton of flip top miter saw videos and this is definitely the cleanest! I'm a little confused on determining where to place the bearings.. do you add the thickness of your material the miter saw is sitting on to the height of the miter saw itself and then the center of your bearings are at the center of that measurement?

[@iljanster]

Thanks a lot Lance! That is correct, the easiest way is to take some thick cardboard and put a nail through it where you think the centre of the bearing would be, this way you will see where things will end up when you flip it. And just experiment till you get it right and then use it as your template..

[@dlk1203]

@@iljanster awesome! great idea!

[@xandersnyder7214]

Great transformation!! One thing, I cringed watching you make cuts on the table saw with no push stick or push block. Other than that amazing job!

[@PredragJokic]

Hi man great video.👌 As I have the same miter saw can you please provide dimensions of the flip table it would be very appreciated . Thank in advance . Keep on good work

[@iljanster]

Hi man! The size of the top is 1000x2000mm, the flip part is just big enogh to fit the saw

[@AstroHBF]

Awesome vid, subbed!

[@dwradford]

Love your design and I will definitely build something similar. Also really like your improvised cyclone. How has the bucket cyclone worked compared to a commercially available version?

[@dwradford]

I just seen your video on how the shop burned. I'm very sorry for your loss

[@iljanster]

Hey bro! Thank you! The cyclone works perfectly I would say it catches 95 % of dust. The table kindof survived the fire somehow and I was able to fix it and it works just fine.

[@brentirvine2336]

I love this project. My one concern would be if the white paint might melt into wood that rubs agianst the white.

[@iljanster]

I used an enamel paint and it is pretty damn solid , don’t think it can rub on from the normal use

[@Cr1msonFir3]

@@iljanster If you use formica for the top you can get something that's extremely durable and allows the boards to slide easily across when pushed.

Fantastico!

I like it. Music kinda hurt my ears even with low vol lol

[@rakashaagain]

music a bit loud, but I like the retro music.

[@correolosrosales]

Hi Bro! Im want to build something very similar to this awesome table. JUST 1 QUESTION. After some time of using this setup, can you tell me if the miter saw don't interfere with the table saw when using with multiple cuts. I'm afraid if i have to flip the miter saw multiple times along the day to use both tools. Thanks in advance.

[@iljanster]

Hey man! It does happens that I have to flip over the miter saw in order to use table saw and than flip it back.. all depends on the size of the material you work with. But honestly it takes 10seconds to flip the miter saw

[@celestialbeas9214]

This was really awesome man, sorry to see it is all gone :(

[@iljanster]

Thank you man! I will build a new one in 2020

[@charleswoodruff3627]

How are you connecting mitre saw to dust collection

[@user-md7mu9ct9b]

молодец

[@stephenmilden9754]

Sorry all that hard work was lost in the fire. I'm curious how you calculated the pivot rod location so that you were able to bolt the miter saw to the table without needing to use any spacers AND have it flush with the top of the bench when flipped ?

[@iljanster]

Hey bro! Thank you! This was actually the trickiest bit. So lets say the height of my saw is 9cm and the thickness of my table is 2cm, so 9 + 2 is 11, so the pivot point will be right in the middle which is 5.5cm. I’ve made a cardboard template at first to make sure that all my measurements were correct and went with it.

[@stephenmilden9754]

Thanks! I'll give it a shot. I'm new to woodworking so am learning as I go. We're in Ecuador and have been locked down since early March so have plenty of time.

[@frbutar]

@@iljanster Thanks for the question and thanks for the answer. Keep the good work mate...

[@steveruddach7791]

Can you tell me what you use to make the table flip? I saw you install what looked like bearings or some sort. Where did you find that and the pins to lock?

[@iljanster]

There are just the cheapest skateboard bearings and 8mm bolts

[@zalsheri]

you are funny and claver

[@TheJquirico]

Man, I’m trying to make a flip top for my mitre saw, but I’m completely lost. I’ve watched this video probably 60 times, any advice?

[@iljanster]

Hey man! [e-mail] , get in touch with me, lets talk

[@TheJquirico]

iljanster sent you an email, my friend. Thank you!

[@TheJquirico]

iljanster - Okay another 10 views on the spot specifically for the flip design. I notice the two planks that mount to the table look to be 1”x6”, and then the ones connected to the portion that actually flips look to be 1”x4”. Would you say that’s accurate? Did you then drill your bearing holes dead center for each board, or was it dead center for the 1x4? Sorry to bother so much, just trying to figure this all out.

[@Dasexuneed]

What are the dimension of the workbench?

[@bullsensation1669]

Can you provide any plans for this

[@wadesmith9483]

[@iljanster]

Oh yea sorry, its FXA , one of the cheap ones, its definitely not the best table saw but if you take your time to set it up it does a good job. I got it for 250 bucks new and I think for that price its hard to beat it
