Mobile Cart to Miter Saw Station & Why I Switched

[@TheBooker241]

I built these cabinets several years ago. I am now removing all of them from the wall to install the ez levelers and remove the bolts for adjustments. Sooo much better. I am removing the middle cabinet to install a shelf for the miter saw. I have to say, I have loved everything, but the bolt levelers, about these cabinets since I found your plans.

[@ronayles9050]

why are there 2 wires on top of stud at 1:18.. did you slice them?

[@ZenRebel33]

I modified my build of your Miter Saw Station. Instead of putting the cleats in with a shelf, I built a cart to allow me to roll the Miter Saw in that is level with the station. I will be making another cart for my Kreg router table. If I get a the DeWalt Plainer, I'll do the same. By making carts for these machines that are level with the station, I can take more advantage of this large work space. I didn't put cabinets or drawers below my miter station in order to store my rolling work bench on one side. The other side I store my pancake compressor. Your build is great and offers a great deal of versatility.

[@Andrew-gu7kf]

Well you certainly are precise and specific. Maybe that's why your projects and workshop always looks so good. Mine...um...not so much. Someday I'll have patience. I can't wait. 😅

[@roberthallin1379]

A man who admits his mistakes is a man that is well respected.Great job.

[@morty_mcfly]

The T-track with a stop-block, what a genious idea !

[@BigHeinen]

Just a thought....might have been a possibility to install the wall outlet 'below' the shelf to keep the cord entanglements to a minimum. While you're there just continue the wall board cutout down the wall and install another outlet above the countertop to the right side of the miter saw? Great video and thanks for the ideas!

[@jymferrier]

been using 3d printed adapters for my shop vac dust collection for about a year. Works fantastic.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Great to hear!

[@chrisbloodoff5170]

Looks great I bought plans for the mobile station but am thinking of doing the inset t-track stop from this build

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

that'd be a great option too! One reason I do like the physical fence though is that it lets me use a 10" spacer to get cuts under 13" where the stop block can't reach

[@BrettsWoodshop]

I'm in the process of creating a vid about my miter saw dust collection shroud and combing through YT to see how other Makers are building their stations.As always, Brad, great presentation and beautiful work! Thanks for sharing!

[@jerrystark3587]

Nicely done.

[@garygwhicks5856]

Hello Fellow Saw Duster, I have seen some of your project vids and I like your style. However, with this project, an AWESOME workbench, I wonder why you chose to permanently install your Miter Saw. It seems to me that if your workbench could accept multiple, mobile tool stands like the one your miter saw was on to begin with, your workbench could be even more awesome. These mobile tool stands could have flippable tops and hold tools like jointers, routers and planers that would benefit from your workbench's excellent fencing system & work piece support. The tool stands need to fit into the workbench and require stabilization during use, but that could be easily done. An easy way to stabilize the tool stands might be to add multiple heavy duty drawer guides to your workbench and have matching hardware on each of the tool stands. That way, when you need to swap tools, you can just slide one out and slide another one in. THANKS AGAIN for your GREAT content! It all makes me want to make more saw dust!

[@jessaminutesir]

I’m rewatching this as I’m finally setting out to do my miter saw station and I have loved your set up ever since you shared it. Also while watching this, seeing your stop block made me think “tell me you’re an engineer without telling me you’re an engineer”…Brad, “here’s my stop block”. 😂

[@rkerby6375]

Well done!

[@LogHouseFarm]

My Snapmaker just arrived, it's a 3D printer, laser etcher, and CNC machine all rolled into one. So I would for sure be interested in any 3D printing you might feature.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

That sounds crazy!

[@LogHouseFarm]

@@Fixthisbuildthat It is a very cool machine, I will be posting a video featuring it this Thursday!

[@zenon72]

Dude. I'm usually pretty quick. But Your explanation is so captivating. The "shocking" caught up to my brain like 3 seconds later. You crazy 🤣🤣🤣 always a pleasure watching your vids. They give me inspiration and motivation for my flooring channel. (Which is how I found you). Alright bro catch ya on the next one👍

Love the level of detail, and your aversion to dust....SUBSCRIBED!!!

[@hersheyskwertz9315]

That stop lock track is low key impressive!

[@dextonfeldark]

I’ve got 4 different 3D printers. 2 FDM and 2 Resin. I’ve printed things like pegboard hooks, socket wrench organizers, paper towel holders, magnetized label plates for drawers, threaded fastener size/gage testers... finding stuff is easy. Modeling something you can’t find is a bit more difficult in my opinion and I would love to see that.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

yes, the modeling is a challenge, but rewarding!

[@kestutisk9397]

Great video like always thanks 👍

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@asitturnsout7108]

you should buy the bosch 12" dual bevel sliding miter saw. it should fit in your opening. highly recommend it!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

if I was going to go with a slider I would probably do that one

[@gregoryhalye8907]

Was there just no way to make the opening the right width and then make the cart the right height to just slot the cart into place between the cabinets and then lock it in place with cleats or a few screws to allow you to keep the mobility?

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi how did the original inspection get through as putting cables across studs and the putting a pasteboard sheet on is not only dangerous but illegal in case someone puts a nail or screw through the pasteboard and straight into the cable. You did your extension correctly but looking at the cables that had been put them would worry me a lot and I would have probably taken the plasterboard off and redo his work. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and hopefully an even better New Year

[@shaniatwain828]

I hate dust too, but sucking up a big pile of it is another level of zen!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Yeah, had to leave that shot in there unencumbered by voice over 😀

[@FrankGraffagnino]

yes to more 3d printing in your videos... including both the design part and the usage!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thx for the feedback

[@hotbrass2005]

I second that! I've been into 3d printing for a long time now, but am just starting to get more into woodworking. I've already printed a runout gauge for my table saw, shop vac adapters, and a few other things. I'd love to see how you combine the two tools to make things!

[@BrianAndrewStephens]

dude your cuts are so clean. I have some learning to do. It's hard to fight splintering on my cuts.

[@jimreese55]

Great as usual.

Thanks again!

[@steveburrington4288]

Where’d you get that drill press?

[@krislaguardia5052]

When you talk about counter sinking screws your drill/impact has a specific large attachment on it. What is that? Some sort of custom chuck?

[@dainpreston2397]

It's a non-marring countersink bit - made by Amana Tool if I remember correctly.

Hey Brad Wanted to reach to tell you I enjoy your channel and look forward to the next bid. Your process of your projects is real. Like the rest of us, you make mistakes. Then you find workarounds.... just like the rest of us. I like that and how you acknowledge woodworking is a blood sport no matter how careful we are! keep the vids coming.

[@DIYMAN]

Love this. I especially like the stop block. Thanks for the video

[@purplecouchproductions8657]

I would love to see more about 3D printing!....Maybe a 3D printing and Epoxy resin project!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

That sounds fun!

[@bobbg9041]

Id have added one at each stud over both sides. Then you could set any table top tool on it at almost any spot or used a hand held tool down the length of the top And never wanted an extra outlet. Now this might not meet code but what the chance you have 5 tools all running on it at any one time? The most might be 2. How many outlets are on a strip plug ive seen 24. At one end you could add a gfci or breaker thats lower then the panels breaker. In a kitchen how often do you need to go looking for a spot to plug in? Most houses all the time. Here's the deal you'll never pull more then 15amps or 20 amps depending how the house is wired. At most youll trip a breaker. Then you have drill chargers phone chargers a place to plug in a sander or drill press router .

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

my intentions are to put small part storage there so the outlets would be covered up if I did that. But if you wanted to use for small tools that would be great

[@bobt2522]

Nice timing! I just finished my mobile miter saw stand based heavily on your plans (Drew Fisher's ideas are mixed in there too.) I guess it is time for a bonfire! I jammed a vacuum and a Dust Deputy into the back of the cabinet.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

I love the idea of the seperator but it just kills performance too much for my liking

[@cloughshelton3510]

Great video with lots of incredible tips. I am just finishing a similar miter saw station and really like your stop block. What are the dimensions of the wooden block and how far behind the face of the miter saw fence did you place your t track?

[@McFlysGarage]

Wish I had more outlets in my garage. The joys of townhomes with detached garages.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

ugh, detached garages are tough

[@robing4566]

Can you tell me where did you get the external filter for your shop vac? The one so that dust doesn’t come blowing back out. Thanks, awesome work!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

That's actually a muffler. It has an internal Hepa filter

[@robing4566]

A muffler...from what application?

[@reforzar]

Insulation cotton candy is my favorite flavor.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

pairs well with a good sauvignon blanc

[@Anthony-H]

Nice! My miter saw station uses a vertical stop block and I hate it. It's always getting hung up. Going to make a new one with the t-track in the countertop like this.

[@howtofixitworkshop]

Hey Brad, nice addition to the shop. I'm planning to do something similar soon. I have a question about your dust collection: Do you have a bag in the shop vac? How often do you empty vac, or clean it out? I was thinking about putting a separator under the counter space but I know that it will take up valuable space. Thanks, Josh

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Hey, Josh. I run a bag and a Hepa filter in there. I switch it out like every 6 months or so. A separator would be nice if I had the space, though it does reduce performance

[@Biglou13-z3p]

I've done what you did to my garage wall 25 yrs ago. The next time I needed to add receptacles I opted to use molded conduit. You use extended boxes and attach the conduit between them., Doesn't look bad either.

Yeah, I was considering a door and will probably do that later 👍

[@geoby1408]

Brad, great video! Have loved your content. A tip for drywall that was shared to me: Use a sawzall, take old/used blade and snap them short so that the length of the exposed/cutting blade from the surface stop plate is the depth of the drywall gyp (1/2 inch usually, 5/8 for type X). That way you can't cut past the back of the drywall and can make an easy continuous cut. Hope this helps!

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

His way is how I do it and I’ve done over 10,000 repairs so his way actually works really well.

[@mendelzwiebel814]

[@Shadoweclipse1386]

This is great! I'd love to have the shop space to do that long of countertop space for a miter saw area. I was also thinking that keeping (and possibly needing to lower) your cart without the wings, and just sliding in between the cabinets would be pretty cool too.
