Transforming Miter Saw Station with Flip Up Tools

[@thebobloblawshow8832]

Great idea with the flip tops and those special hinges.

MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo

Clever. A simple built solution to many small tool storage issues.

Very cool! I'm going to use this as inspiration. I will probably do a simple T-track on the bench top itself and then a fence can slide into that rather than bolting down a fence with a T-track in it.

[@celestialbeas9214]

As a machinist, if I want to be able to set up something I have set up before, metal dowels, or key slots are very good for that. If you can use some of your rockler aluminum track on the table top, and underneath your miter saw guide, and a few metal keys you could easily set up the guide with minimal effort. Alternatively, get some metal bushings in the same size of your shoulder bolts your using, and have those inset into the guide, and your table top. Lengthy setup time or teardown is always demoralizing, so whenever I can avoid it, I do.

Cool project Ben! Never saw those hinges before, have to look into them! Maybe a point of 'concern' : the holes for the fences will wear out over time, and get bigger. That might cause some allignment issues? Maybe make them a bit bigger from the start and epoxy some sort of bushings in them?

So great seeing you back to workshop projects!! I personally am of the opinion of not running a long backing fence either side of mitre saw as 90% of timber has slight bows. I'd rather just use the metal fence part of saw itself to hold timber flat against and them also leaves the rest of bench always clear for working on. You could just recess the t-track into the work top so you can still run a stop block at a later stage. That way no more inconvenience of fitting and removing and storing massive timber fence anymore!!! Keep up the awesome work but mate.. loving all the content 🤙🤙

I like the build ❤❤

[@ritzasheangler1814]

Pretty fricken Amazing!!! 🙌

[@heathermacmillan962]

You always come up with some incredible ideas... what an awesome set-up 👌 ❤

[@ConservativeVeteran]

Amazing....constantly awed at how your brain works!

[@raymondflynt9886]

Love your videos.

[@ColeSpolaric]

You need a laser level!

[@Fogull2323]

Awesome job! Are you worried at all about the hinges getting pulled out when the scroll saw or sander are hanging?

[@joegummo8933]

Great video! Is there a weight limit to consider when mounting heavier/larger tools (i.e. thickness planer, table top drill press, or band saw)? I like your design, but am struggling to see how it would hold some of the tools I want to "store" away.

[@BenTardif]

I don’t see any info about weight limit on the item’s page, but the belt/disc sander is a hefty 40 lbs and this setup has zero issues with it. You could consider adding a 3rd hinge (or more) for peace of mind if your tool heavier

[@joegummo8933]

@@BenTardif Yeah, I didn't see any specifications either, so I thought I'd ask. Thanks for the reply, Ben. I'll have to give it a shot with my heavier thickness planer and use a third or 4th hinge. Love your videos and style...thanks for doing what you do!!

[@jasonbodenheimer4017]

Tell me about your large vacuum cleaner!! what is it and where can I get one?

[@LiqdPT]

The dust collection for your tools goes directly into the work top?

[@BenTardif]

Yes! It’s very convenient. I’ll be building it in next weeks video

[@LiqdPT]

@@BenTardif I was more (fascitiously) referring to the fact that the holes you made in the mounting plates mated with a solid top when you were using the tool. I assumed there must be more work coming, but you didn't reference it in the video.

[@abhiramakella7146]

It’s been three weeks since you posted the last video!

[@darwill7834]

Did u not think about having mitre saw rail flip up from the table ??

[@tetepeb]

Will we ever see any marbleruns again?

[@BenTardif]

Yes! Finally working on some now!
