Sliding Miter Saw Stand

[@MrCriscros]

*I was able to use the stop to cut my pieces all the same **MyBest.Tools** Only let the blade come to a complete stop before lifting it back up otherwise it might 'catch' the work and inadvertently move the stop. Used a second clamp for holding.*

[@RunningCordoroy]

Holy cow you can learn a lot from a guy like this.

[@dancahill9122]

Damb straight. This gentleman has probably forgotten more than I'll ever know ! !

[@JayBates]

Great solution for those without a lot of space.

[@LZACCARO]

Fantastic idea !!! L.ZACCARO

[@Marc_berrrry-oh]

This man got a lot of experience behind the tie

[@markarnold159]

You Sir are a genius. I really appreciate your taking the time to show us how you build these Master Pieces!!!! Well done! You could be a teacher!!!!

[@johnallenit]

This is by far the best saw stand I've seen so far. Thank you for designing and presenting this.

[@DigitalMocking]

This is far and away the first set of plans for a miter saw stand I've seen that are worth the asking price, simply amazing. I'll be ordering and building this, thank you!

[@CarlHolmgrenwoodworking]

DM Thanks for the kudos and thank you very much for your order. //Carl

[@DigitalMocking]

After receiving the plans, if you have ANY hesitation, I'd say let it go, these plans are amazing, the cut list is great, this is so impressive. Thank you for such great work Carl.

[@gofindyourself6568]

very nice! compact but loaded with great features!

[@trueemail9687]

After searching KZbin for ideas like this -- this is by far the best I have seen. Others appear to be strikingly similar (hopefully that is just a coincidence). With the visual of the plans and seeing their detail all I can say is WOW!

[@arasul]

You are amazing Carl. Splendid !

[@UndergroundOverground]

Easy to tell that you put an awful lot of thought into the design. Subscribed. Thank you, Steve.

[@AaronWoodburn]

Man you are one clever dude. excellent work.

[@Jeffferguson1911]

Using the HVAC duct along with the 2" vac line is a very nice way of getting both active and passive collection. Well done!

[@seansysig]

Great design elements, especially the elevating casters!

[@marrano10]

That is a wonderful stand and piece of functional furniture ! Nice to see people still designing for both form and function

[@nxoncab]

the best mitre saw station. great job mate.

[@josecantu6843]

Nice job Carl, very nice.

[@peachtrees27]

Love it! Love all the hinges and gravity-friendly connections.

[@MRrwmac]

Another excellent innovative build Carl. Covers all the bases, dust collection, angle cut clearance, adjustable fences, mobility, and most importantly folds to compact size for small footprint and storage. You are always coming up with such ingenious ways of accomplishing complex tasks! Thanks for sharing and hope the sales do well.

[@CarlHolmgrenwoodworking]

MRrwmac Thanks for the kudos, sales are going really well, more plans coming soon, ////carl

[@nettyneuron4242]

Wonderful, compact and well thought out for everything needed for an excellent portable miter saw stand.. Hats off to you Sir.

[@ianhig]

Love the wing set up with the rod for the pivoting. Was wrestling with the idea on how to deal with that, but problem solved! Building it this afternoon

[@rubenpazos1800]

desde la Argentina lo felicito por su trabajo, no se si usted es un carpintero profesional pero lo que si advierto es la calidad de su trabajo, su trabajo parece hecho por un ingeniero. muchas felicitaciones. rubén gerardo pazos.

[@heru-deshet359]

Excellent project sir. I'll make this to free up my wall space in my shop. Subscribed!

[@bufford14]

As always another great video, you are very good at what you do. WOW! mark

[@tommymarshall5836]

Thank you. Plans look great now this old man needs to try and build it. Thank you very much.

[@memyselfi7292]

Love the plans..... this will be my first project this winter.

[@MartyEscarcega]

Very impressed with all the thought you put into the design.

[@paulanderson1687]

Love your videos Carl. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You’re an engineer for sure with ingenious solutions. I bought the plans (very detailed and well documented instructions). Can’t wait to get started on the build. I’m also going to use your design ideas for constructing a mobile base for my table saw stand.

[@johnv2pt0]

Great stuff Carl. And you're offering so much value in your plans! Thank you for sharing.

[@davomontgomeryda3rd]

really impressive and very functional design! So many very clever, great ideas in your design/ builds and videos... now I suddenly feel inspired to build a new miter saw stand all over again. but, I think I'm going to start with purchasing a set of plans to build your flip top stand first. 👍🏼

[@wesselmoerenhout4696]

Such an amazing stand Carl, I like everything in thjs design and in you.

[@IH1940HAY]

I have seen your roll around base raising system on a few of your bases and like the operation and would like to make some however I have not been able to see all of the parts of the mechanism. Could you make a video showing how they are built. Thanks for all your videos

[@AnsonCorsair]

Ordered the plans, now I just need to get to work on this bad boy!

[@CarlHolmgrenwoodworking]

Anson C., Thank you for buying my plans; good luck with your project. ///Carl -

[@basuramanya]

I love all the features. You seem to have thought of most things.

[@topgundk]

Really enjoying your videos and specially all the clever engineering details you have incorporated. Im unsure if im going with this type of small imprint cart for my miter or with the big stationary one, that then doubles as storage unit. But never the less i have bought you plans to at least support you great work. Even if it ends up with a stationary big unit for me, the caster system you use everywhere i really need to learn now to do, that i can use in a lot of situations. Please keep up the good work.

[@dhancock5915]

Great Job Carl. I'm diggin your castor system.

[@mikestanley2624]

Nice work.

[@christopherpowell1483]

sir ty for the videos.you did a outstanding job.I could use your help getting my small woodshop setup.

[@babyjjnels]

Great stand. Nice dewalt saw too. I like your shop.

[@HolyCrapAA]

Nice work!! Almost wish i would need this so i could buy the plans. But i will go another route for my mitre saw. Anyway, i just wanted to say: AWESOME JOB!!!

[@kringles65]

Very efficient and professional

[@TheBryeCooper]

Thank you Sir for this video, off to buy some plywood! ;) Look forward to viewing your other videos, cheers.

[@Canadiansasquatchbrewery]

Great video Sir! Your designs are great! Cheers!

[@bolts5372]

very good. nice design

[@markgriggs8904]

Very informative video and a well thought out design... Thanks

[@IdRatherMakeItMyself-Net]

I love the design. Your videos are a pleasure to watch. Very clear and well organized. Were you a teacher?

[@CarlHolmgrenwoodworking]

Mark's Workshop Creations, Michael, Pete K., Sebastian, Stew P., Leslie - Thanks for all the kind comments; you make me want to get out in the shop instead of warming a chair here in front of the tube. No, I wasn't a teacher. //Carl

[@thewhiskeysgt]

Hope are doing well Carl. Enjoy the videos.

[@bart_seavey]

That guy is an engineer.

[@Ivan-oj9my]

Svaka cast

[@charredskeleton]

Wow I love it, nice work!

[@jonaspermentier6015]

Love your idee

[@LZACCARO]

Fantastic idea, Carl. Congrats. L.ZACCARO

[@1969CampEvans]

GREAT IDEAS ...MASTER CRAFTSMAN

[@vicO1323]

I like your design however, I feel it should be taller at least 36" plus. Saves the back, especially on cement floors.

[@the1bulldurham]

Went to your website and it only takes PayPal. Very nice design.

[@fortuner123]

Excellent.

[@Jerzystransfer1]

Carl - Thank you for this video and plans. I will be purchasing them today. This is a wonderful design and I have every intention of completing this project. Have you given or have any thoughts regarding the same type of enclosure for a portable table saw? If so, I would be interested in those plans/video as well. Cheers

[@augustoentrielli]

Very very good, and good job!

[@paulcastro1361]

Carl Holmgren. Impressive design in many ways. Your videos are a delight to watch, besides being very instructional and inspiring. I noticed that you demonstrate this stand with what it seems a 10" miter compound saw (?) Now my question is, do you have a version that will accommodate a Dewalt DWS709, which is a 12"? And another question, do you have a digital version of your plans? I don't live in the USA, and to get the print version could be complicated. I do my payments through PayPal, for just in case though.

[@thedukelives24]

Thank you for the video!

[@macrapidito1]

Hey Carl I bought the plans yesterday and haven’t receive them yet. What is your time frame for plans delivery ?

[@brianm7457]

Hi macrapidito can you send an email to [e-mail] - I need to know your email address thanks

[@macrapidito1]

Brian M I just sent the email, I’ll wait for the plans, thanks!

[@johnleiker5132]

you mentioned that it was made from a 5 x 5 sheet of plywood i haven't seen that dimension of wood at the box stores how would i go about finding a sheet as i really like this miter saw stand out of the many I've seen so far on you tube

[@CarlHolmgrenwoodworking]

+John Leiker Thx for Kudos. Local big box stores (e.g. Lowes, Home Depot) do not carry Baltic Birch Plywood. I buy it from Windsor Plywood but it appears they only have stores in Washington State, Montana and Canada. I've also bought it from a local hardwood retailer, Black Forest Wood Products. Phone calls to a knowledgeable person at a plywood retailer should help you find a source. Some thicknesses (e.g. 18 mm) have been in short supply this past year and prices reflect this.

[@mattwlane]

Looks like a great design! In your use, how well does the dust collection work?

[@CarlHolmgrenwoodworking]

Matt, The system works very well to vacuum sawdust that the saw blade throws into the rubber funnel on the miter saw to which the 2 inch hose is connected. Roughly 80% of the sawdust goes into the 2 inch hose. The plenum system connected to the 4 inch hose intended to vacuum airborne dust works well but is not 100% effective. It substantailly reduces airborne dust but leaves some sawdust piled up in nooks and crannies. Thanks for the question and thanks for looking at my video. ////Carl

[@fwanknmt]

Very smart

[@bdormer1]

Question re: the jackknifed braces. You demonstrated that they can hold a tremendous weight. But what if you were to accidentally bump a brace while it was loaded? They fold so easily when not loaded - how securely do they hold with some weight on them?

[@CarlHolmgrenwoodworking]

Brian D, You're right, if the braces were bumped while supporting a load the wings would collapse. Actually the braces over-center slightly when lowered; I've never had one collapse while in use. ///Carl

[@SpeedLockedNZ]

awesome dude

[@slbenfica11]

Very smart 👏.

[@Starchildcasanova]

I love this station! Great design. I built a mobile station for myself a few weeks ago but I'm not really satisfied with the swinging wing style supports for the folding shelves. I like these supports and I wanted to make some of those but I can't find anything when I search "jack knife braces." Are they known by another name?

[@Nerfball6]

I just did a search for "folding shelf brackets" and found many options.

[@alexmalinovskyi7037]

Good jobs

[@loretospiteri3626]

What kind of support wings are those?

[@brewsterly2927]

Very good stand Carl. Will buy your plan. Would there be many complications building it taller? " " " " " Using metric ? Or stick to imperial?

[@CarlHolmgrenwoodworking]

+Bruce Lee Than you very much for buying my plan. There would be few complications to making it taller. Add to the vertical dimensions for sides, back, tip-out bin and door. Baltic birch plywood is available only in metric thicknesses; 3 mm, 6 mm, 9, 12, 15, 18 & 25mm. I thin t might be easier to build with metric dimensions. ////////Carl

[@strikevyyper]

Great workmanship...just wanted to know how you determined the pivot points for your jack knife hinge system?

[@CarlHolmgrenwoodworking]

+strike vyyper Pythagoras' Theorem (A squared + B squared = C squared) For a right angled triangle: Side A squared + Side B squared = Hypotenuse squared where side A and side B are joined by a right angle. With the wing raised, the brace represents the hypotenuse, the cabinet side A and the wing Side B, The brace is 36" center to center (two 18" links c.to c.). 36" squared = 1296, divide by 2 = 648. square root of 648 is 25 1/2" ). With all that said, the pivot point for the brace under the wing should be 25 1/2" from the wing hinge rod; the pivot point for the brace on the side of the cabinet should be 25 1/2" down from the wing hinge rod.

[@strikevyyper]

hey Carl, Thanks for the reply....I done that. So i'm taking that when you put the center pivot on your hypotenuse, you divided the length into 2 equal lengths? Mine binds when it gets 3/4 of the way closed. Mine also connects almost to the end of the wing also and at the bottom of the cabinet, so i'm a little longer than yours.

[@strikevyyper]

ok, didn't see all your reply...i understand now, thanks for your help.

[@tammylickelhoff4345]

The website for the plans is down. Anyone know where I can buy the plans?

[@donrichards494]

Do you have a drawing for the mechanism that allows the stand to roll when you press down on the front lever?

[@CarlHolmgrenwoodworking]

+Don Richards There's a good description in my earlier video on the sliding miter saw: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roSogaqBa8ehZtk at 5:50 on. Of course the plans have a good drawing of the caster system ///Carl

[@memyselfi7292]

What tools do you need before you start this project?
