Over-Engineered Miter Saw Station - Part 3

[@damionarchibald3734]

Nice job!! I like that you added the smart component and the lights.

[@JoeK0322]

You should sell these acrylic dust shrouds for Bosch owners. Great idea🍻

Workshop art... it will likely wind up in a Fine Woodworking museum🙂.

Awesome job Hunter, Also thank you for your service!!!!!

[@DocRonSnyder]

Man, that is definitely the best miter saw station built I have ever seen. Excellent work. You rock and keep it coming.

[@EngineeringWorkshop_hvw]

Thank you so much! I'm really happy with how it came out and I love how efficient it make things in the shop.

[@minch135]

This is awesome! Thanks for the ivac explanation. I’m pretty new to woodworking and have been eyeing these! Also thank you for your service sir. I hope by now you have returned home safely to your family.

I love over-engineering my projects. Love it. Subbed.

[@Jonathan_Grider]

Great job brother! This has really inspired me to rethink my miter saw station. When I get around to building it. I really like the level of pizzaz that those LED lights add to the entire build. I’m actually considering adding something like it to my build now… 👍

[@kevinkelley332]

really well videographed, illustrated and edited. Plus I dig your sound track!

[@michaeljameson1046]

Good video nice build cheers.

[@joeelsner6607]

Very well done! Looks amazing!

[@EngineeringWorkshop_hvw]

Thank you very much!

Great video my friend. Welcome to the KZbin world. Your video's are quite good considering it looks like you've just started your channel. Glad to be one of your 100 subscribers. ;-)

[@DaveGled]

If I could give you some constructive criticism, add links to the different products you've incorporated. I believe you can generate income from Amazon whenever someone purchases one of the products you've used if they've clicked on your link to get to Amazon.

[@EngineeringWorkshop_hvw]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@davidbondi]

Agreed, nicely put together, especially if you are new at this. Only piece of constructive feedback I'd offer is that the volume level isn't consistent, so a view must adjust way down during one segment (usually music) and the back up to be able to hear what you are saying. Keep it up!

[@jeffolsen3228]

I really like your dust collection set up and had the same ideas except attach from a wall mounted dust right. How do you like the mobile dust right 750 cfm? Do you ever think you need more cfm or power?

[@EngineeringWorkshop_hvw]

Hey Jeff! Thanks for the comment. I do really like the 750 CFM unit, but mostly because it is quiet, mobile, and way better than a shop vac. If you were going to go for a wall mounted unit, I would get the 1350 CFM one (assuming you stay with Rockler). Simply because more suction is always better, and I'd rather have too much than too little. I don't have any issues with 750 in that regard, but I don't have an extensive system. If I ever get into a larger shop than a garage, I'l upgrade.

[@mitziseyfferdt3866]

Great build! Some suggestions though, why didn't you add some support at the back for longer material line-up and clamping or stop blocks? What you could also add is some self adhesive measuring tape to both sides. Love the design, it really looks great. Don't take this the wrong way please, but your audio could use some attention, the music is really loud and obnoxious, but the minute minute you speak I have to turn up the volume. I have subscribed, because I enjoyed the miter saw station build, looking forward to seeing new content. All the best Mitzi - South Africa 💫

[@EngineeringWorkshop_hvw]

Hey Mitzi, thanks for the comment! I chose to only use the miter saw fence [for alignment to the blade] because it allows for a perpendicular cut on a warped piece of wood. If I was to extend the fence all the way down the support benches, the angle of the cut would be the average of the straightness of the board - not a true 90 degree cut. Also, it allows for my working space in a small shop; I put stuff along the back of the benches all the time. I thought about the measuring tape - I even bought it - but didn’t like the stop block enough to commit to it. I thought I might end up redesigning how the stop block was used, which would necessitate a different measuring line up. I’ll probably add it in the future. No worries about the audio. Video editing is hard lol. I’m just learning. People go to college for this, I studied math and math engineering instead :) I’ll do better next time. Thanks for the attention and subscription!!

@@EngineeringWorkshop_hvw I love how you explain your process, and your to the point no nonsense style of presenting is great, so many people waste so much time on repetition of milling etc. Respect to you for starting your channel and creating good KZbin content. Your explanation makes perfect sense, thank you for taking the time to respond to me, even though I might come across as a loudmouth critic 😃, my intentions are not to bring you down, but to help you grow your channel and be a loyal subscriber. Looking forward to see mire videos from you soon. 👍🏻🤞🏻

[@chadbingham8069]

Do you have a link to the products you bought?

[@EngineeringWorkshop_hvw]

I’ve been meaning to do that. I’ll put a list together and put links in the description.

[@chadbingham8069]

@@EngineeringWorkshop_hvw that'd be awesome! Thanks!

I too am in process of building some cabinet doors with clear panels. I planned to use 1/4" polycarbonate, but can not find a source for it at a reasonable price. I've decided to use glass as it is considerably cheaper right now. Did you find somewhere relatively cheap to buy it or did you bite the bullet and pay the inflated COVID price?

[@EngineeringWorkshop_hvw]

Fortunately I purchased my polycarbonate from McMaster-Carr before the prices were crazy. I spent around $400 on the polycarbonate, and around $500 on shipping. The shipping caught me by surprise after I already purchased the product and committed. The main expense was shipping a full 4’x8’ sheet, packaged to prevent all damage. Perhaps, buying 4’x4’ sheets would be cheaper on shipping.

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

@@EngineeringWorkshop_hvw Yikes! I'll stick with glass cut to fit at Lowe's. Thanks for the info. McMaster-Carr is AWESOME, ....except for their shipping policy. They've caught me a couple times with some obnoxious shipping quote after the purchase. Would be nice to know the shipping cost prior to purchase.

[@davidbondi]

@@EngineeringWorkshop_hvw Nice Build. I can relate to over-engineered. When you shop McMaster-Carr online, save everything to your cart, then call them and they can look at your cart and give you a shipping estimate. That way, no surprises! Subscribed! Can't wait to see what you over-engineer next!!
