Making The Mitre Saw Station

- In this video I finish making the mitre saw station. I start by making a mobile tool cart to hold my bench belt and disc sander which will be stored underneath the miter station. I also make a hood to sit over the saw, and a dust ramp to guide the saw dust in to the dust collection drawer. I trim up the plywood edges using some hardwood, and also add a fence and stop block system and tape measure so that I can make repeatable accurate cuts. Finally, I add dust shrouds to both the hood and the cabinets beneath utilising a clever idea from one of my viewers!

I love when your cat interrups, he's so cute and seems so loving 😻
Fantastic Channel, mate. You're clear, to the point, lot's of common sense advice (which is not so common) and you don't why away from pointing out things you inadvertently forget when building stuff. Great content!
This is a great unit. Your design is at the same time simple and extremely useful. You are right. The idea to use the blinds is a stroke of genius. Thanks for sharing this build.
Loved the video! I did nearly the exact same thing with my miter station hood not two days ago, including the overhang and reinforcing the thin panel. The fenceless t-track setup is the way to go, I'm hoping to get mine done this weekend. And I'm getting one of those flippy stop blocks now. Thanks!
Very satisfying seeing the accuracy of your stop block! I've used ikea blinds on my fitted wardrobe I made for myself a while back, does the job and was easy enough to do on a budget!
The shades are a brilliant idea. I also like the stop system that you used. Definitely on my list of next purchases. Nice build video.
Roller blinds! Brilliant idea. Solves a problem for me too 😊
Just know you never have to apologise for Dylan. We all love him!
I hate cats.
Cliff Carlo poor you
@@cliffcarlo180 hahahaha...this is not the place to say that :-)))))))
Great idea for the mitre station and well build. Very well organized project. Good job done!
Great job Keith, gave me some interesting ideas for my own mitersaw station which I have only been working on for the past 4 years
Enjoyed seeing the evolution of the design. Like the roller blind idea. Might try that for open shelves. Cat reminds me of one we used to have that looked exactly like yours and constantly tried to walk across the PC keyboard.
Great work on the miter saw station Keith! Thanks for sharing the video with us.👍👌😎JP
some great ideas and dips. thanks for sharing
it's so nice to finally see you working out of a "full-size" shop. looking great.
Looking Good Keith
Glad to see the overseerer comes by to check up on you around 3:30
BOB ON! :)
and she's wearing my brand new trainers!!
Great build and kudos to sithlordst32 too - I like the roller blind idea. "Yoink!" -> the sound of me pinching that idea!
It is a great idea! And it works well too. If you can get the plastic/vinyl ones the dust cleans off much easier than with fabric 👍
I agree. Totally going to use that idea
Once again award worthy special effects-who knew a glue stick could simulate dust?
This nice video reminds me to thank you for your MFT drilling jig so useful for having perfectly aligned holes.
I can even use them for square alignment (I was not hoping so much) !
Nice job Keith. It looks really proffesional.
Great build. T track in bench is genius.
Having a long fence is rubbish if your timber is bowed.
Thanks for sharing
Turned out super nice. Will be great to see you use it in future vids.
Yeah I really like this! I’m planning a new workshop at the moment and I’ll be using a couple of these ideas! Great stuff!
Your new workshop is looking amazing and nice to see Dylan making a guest appearance
Coming along nicely Keith. I'm glad we are getting away from the idea that we all need a big honkin' fence hanging off the left of our miter saws. Keep up the good work!
Cheers Chem, yeah if it works it works👍
Great job's Keith, loved the blinds idea, have a nice day Mate !!!.
Loving the green office wall, Keith
Very well done Keith. Lots of solutions for us to consider. Building a mobile miter station right now and will be using the no fence idea and magnets on the shroud cover for sure. From Oregon, USA I say thank you once again for your time and effort putting out such outstanding content. Excellent presentation for those of us using materials on hand with well selected purchases of accessories. All the best to you!
Thank you!
What a grouse setup, mate.👍🏽
Brilliant mate, keep it simple but functional & it looks fantastic considering you’ve used reclaimed stuff, I’m making mine presently & am taking some tips off your build 👍👍👍
Great vid. Love the roller blind idea. And the cat :-) Thanks for sharing this.
Nice one Keith, that Mitre Station is looking bloody damm good.
Love the green Keith. Great video too
Great job. Great cat! We’ve got two long hairs from cats protection Dereham. Totally taken over our lives, couldn’t be without them!
Very nice job Keith l have the same Milwaukee saw as your self so I will remake my units like the hud but not the panel at the front around the saw the t track is great with no fence thanks for your ideas stay safe 👍👏👏
that looks great!
great video and work...
Nice job. I want to add wings to my mobile router station and include a track stop like you did for your table.
Hello there. Good idea. Miter Saw Station Construction. I need too. I have to do it too. You gave me a good idea. thank you....
Roller blinds genius. Bell icon on now working.
Looking good mate
Love that mate. Great job. Looks like you quite enjoyed doing this too.👍
Ended up looking a treat, great job, and using reclaimed and second hand items I'm sure cut down the costs significantly. I much prefer seeing a useful, no nonsense station than a showpony, not inferring anything against the finish of yours....it's just much more practical for everyday use. Unfortuantely I'm ultra limitied for space, or I'd look at building the same you've made up. Love the passive collection drawer, the dust generating monsters seem to get stuff everywhere....no matter how hard you try to collect it.
P.S. do love the videos of all your projects...straight forward, no bs, and always an awesome result!!!!
Cheers from Aus!!!!
Great job mate,.
great video again mate, thanks
Great video
I was trying to figure out the same thing, link takes you several stop blocks 🧐 but anyway Enjoy your video and gone to checkout your other ones 👍
Great work Keith and yes I'll be stealing the dust stroud idea. 😜
Hi Keith. Like you, I did not want a backrest on the worktop upon which my mitre station is mounted as I also had a lathe on the worktop that I could occasionally move forward to use. I had moveable 'risers' on each side that lifted my workpieces up to the level of the mitre platform, which had rotatable stops at each side for setting repeated measurements when a riser was clamped to the worktop. This worked OK, but was fiddly to set, so your solution of putting a track and measure on the support SURFACE appealed to me. I got another five-foot length of worktop cheaply, and after cutting slots for the T Track and Tape on the table saw, mounted it at the correct height on the left side of the mitre saw - I moved both risers to the right. I got a stop similar to yours, and it works a treat!
I have not been able to attach the tape measure yet as the stop - APPARENTLY JUST LIKE YOURS - that I ordered from Amazon will not arrive until December 2nd!
Revisiting my order to see if there was any way to speed up the order, I realised that your UK link amzn.to/2VZCzJG took me to a SIMILAR stop to yours, but WITHOUT the adjustable indicator to set to the tape.
*** A stop WITH the adjustable indicator is at www.amazon.co.uk/KUNSE-Aluminium-Alloy-T-track-Woodworking/dp/B07KR638ZG/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Precision+45+Type+Miter+Track+Stop+Aluminium+Alloy+For+45mm+T-Slot+T-track+Woodworking+DIY+Tool&qid=1574007057&sr=8-1
They both seem to come from the USA in view of their long delivery times.
I've tried to change my order but will not hold my breath!
If I have to accept the existing stop, I guess I can attach an adjustable indicator to it - and the one I have already - but it is very frustrating not being able to mount the tape measure until after December 2nd when I will know what allowance to make for the indicator.
As an addendum, I realised that my lathe would just cover the T Track even when pushed backwards. I never really liked that lathe, and sold it cheaply, so I can get a nice new - smaller but electronically speed controlled one - for my upcoming Christmas (and birthday in January!) present!
Fantastic video plus will be more accurate this way because if you have a long fence and bow in the wood then can effect the cut
Roller blinds!!” Brilliant
That's your best video in ages... Loved it 😊
Thank you!
Nearly 100k. I guess you've got a graph - subscribers over time. Looking forward to your break - through!
I don't like doing the safety pedant thing on youtube but well and truly watch your hands when sticking brads in, your hands are well within the range these things can fly out at at 1:55. I've a friend of a friend's who shattered his thumb with a compressor brad nailer, took a year to heal! Mitre station looks bangin though!
Excellent work Sir, I am rather envious of your shop and btw I love cats. I have four.
nice color
Hi new to your channel. Nice work on the miter station! Its also nice to see so many Hitachi tools. They are a great brand that is often overlooked here in America.
Plenty of ideas in this project. For the same reason as you, I prefer a fence-less mitre station - there's too much useful space on the top and fancy fences just seem to get in the way. It would be interesting to know your thoughts in a couple of months time on the effectiveness of a passive collection system vs using the draw for storage. Thanks for the link to the kreg measuring tape...
Cheers Karl, I'm actually considering using the front of the drawer for storage and the back for dust 🙂 just need to pop a partition in
You may want to consider cutting a fixed length piece from aluminum or delrin that you can use as a spacer when you want to cut pieces smaller than 200 millimeters. This will work around the limitations of your t-track. All the best. Your video was excellent. Thank you for sharing it.
Great idea! Thanks
i like the way cat enters, I love cats.. good job
Great build Keith looks just the job i keep meaning to do something similar in the shed.
Keep your eye on Dylan he might want a snooze behind the Roller Blinds ha ha ha.
Barry (Wirral, ENG)
Ha ha thanks Barry 👍
I like the idea of the T rack cut into the bench top. I might have to consider a remodel for mine. I didn't see a bin for the scraps coming off the saw, maybe a 'Bin' would fit nicely in the space to catch the offcuts
That is a good idea! Will think about how to incorporate that 👍
@@RagnBoneBrown My scrap bin and "prototyping" wood pile is now on top of the hood.
The inspiration for my stop block came from Fastcap. It allows repeat cuts all the way up to the blade.
Love the cat. Thanks for the video.
Nicely done Keith, the shop is becoming a thing of beauty 😁. Looks like the MFT is working a treat 😁👍. It's obvious what is going in the gap at the bottom.... Dylan told me he has plans for the "cat house" (9 months ago) to take pride of place...lol 😂😂. Keep up the great work Keith😁👍.
👍
If it were mine, I would cut that green hood in the center and put hinges on either side. That way, when I need to make an angled cut, I could just swing them open.
nice job. how is the dust colection workingi dont like the part held on with magnets. it will work great but i would never put it back , i think cutting it in half and hindging them would work better so they are always out of the way when opened but still atatched and not lost or broken
I would have laid a piece of painters tape down before routing groove for tape to reduce splintering. Also, how well do you think that adhesive is gonna hold up being applied to that substrate? I can imagine it’s peeling already.
I liked the design and video! What stop did you use on the t track? Thanks mike
Great video. What plunge saw rail are you using that works with makita? thanks
Great video series. Could I make a suggestion about your t-track?
You said you added some track so you could make shorter cuts, but implied that the cut length was still limited to a minimal length of 300mm approximately.
You could use a preset block to offset that gap.
Example:
340mm gap with a 240mm block makes a 100mm cut. 340mm gap with a 340mm block equals no gap at all.
Extension:
I set my ruler at 12 inches back from the blade and then have a 12 inch block which I set at the start of the ruler as point zero, I can then measure any gap I can read off the ruler to set my stop and that is the length of my cut.
nice
Brilliant - I'm about to make something like this - no doubt way more shoddy than yours - I was thinking of either using wipeboard (or is that just melamine??) or blackboard paint for the front of the shroud... I have the memory of a goldfish with dimentia so having somewhere to scribble cut lengths would be handy. You and your videos are great... although I wish I'd seen it before I ordered the Kreg system... it will see if it can be set into the top as that's genius. Thanks to you and the moggy invasions.
What about keeping some dimensional off cuts of various sizes to use against the flag stop for smaller repeat cuts? 50mm, 100mm etc 🤔
Hi mate, how deep did you make it? Looking at the one I'm looking to make it's looking super deep to account for the slide of the saw.
Be glad when you start making stuff again.
I made stuff in this video!
Rag 'n' Bone Brown - Yes you did.
Are you planning on hooking up dust extraction to the mitre saw? I am playing with using my chip / dust extractor (has a main 6” ducting) or a vac.
Yep that'll be in a future video
I was looking at some of those sticky tape measures. I decided to take apart a old tape measure. To seve a few pennies. I wont have left to right reading but I can live with that. Workshops looks like its coming together. You have much more you want to do to it?
Floor and dust collection still need sorting 🙂
A rolling box scrap bin for the cut offs
The support piece underneath to support the routing could have been screwed and glued into place. Then remove the screws and do the routing and then insert the screws after routing.
True!
Looks good. How effective is the dust shroud? Has it reduced dust considerably?
Difficult to know, but seems like it should help 👍
Hello
in the space under then miter saw
Fantastic build Keith I love how it looks. Could anyone advise me on a finish? I have made a coffee table top (inspired by one of Keith's videos) and it has some nice grain. I need a product that would both pop the grain and provide a fairly durable surface. I am a bit confused! Any help would be appreciated.
I've used the combination stain and polyurethane in one stuff and it works pretty good . Water based is very easy to use and clean up.
@@dangermartin69 Many thanks. Yeah I think I'll go for that.
This may help czcams.com/video/E33TZnGrLQg/video.html
Awesome video as usual! Random question but what's the tape on your track saw for? Its been bugging me 😅
Just to stop dust spraying out
No wonder you’re on your way to 100k subscribers.
kick ass
Which companies stop blocks do you use please? Great video and partner is going to set up a track on his workbench so he can utilise the bench as a workstation when not utilising the mitre saw also as space is limited in his workshop.
Links are in the description box
@@RagnBoneBrown I’m watching CZcams via tv and there’s no description box unfortunately with links
Link to bench dogs and raisers please. US will be great.
Put a box / basket to collect the cut wood scraps...
Dylan wants his own channel hahaha
Sheet goods, actually all wood prices have sky-rocketed here in the US due to COVID-19. Thankfully I'm a scrounger and have quite a collection of various thicknesses I've accumulated over the years. I see you have quite a bit yourself. People may snub us for checking skiffs and roadsides, but we have the wood many can't afford now. How are the prices of wood in the UK? Have they too gone up? I love this cabinet/rolling cart idea and I'm building my new Radial arm saw station with either room for lots of drawers or a rolling cart. I haven't decided yet. The RAS will be set up with a dado stack because I can't use a dado stack on the model DW475 saw I have. I hear they did improve the arbor on the newer model.
Yeah prices seem to be on the rise here too 😒
Great mitre saw station Keith. You may like to check out Drew Fisher of Fishers Shop. He did a magic simple dust extraction addition to his mitre station that was 98% efficient. I did it and it’s amazing.
I checked it out, looks great 👍
Hi mate
What dust extraction do you use
czcams.com/video/t3O6nEjVWrM/video.html this should answer the question
Nice, but why a bettery powered saw?
Maybe the cat wants his own channel.
how about a shop vac in the center for the dust.
Dust extraction video will follow soon 😀
Hello Keith, it's been awhile have not seen any video's of yours
I post weekly videos
5:36 I know you know what you're doing and all, but from this perspective that made me get VERY uncomfortable. 😆
😂
Is that Dylan? He (or she) makes a good su-purr-visor. 🐺 I think your girlfriend made an unscheduled appearance as well. I could see an extra shirt in some of the frames. It's nice she takes an interest in your work too!
His girlfriend had her arms crossed - maybe he's spending too much time in his new shop! 😀
I guess I misunderstood what he said in an earlier comment. He mentioned "she"....I guess he was referring to his girlfriend...not the cat. Lol. He had 2 helpers in this video then....lol.
Hi
Was that your wife there in the background for a bit?Got a wife and a cat and a great mitersaw station.
Cat at 15:46. 🐈
Hi
Well done. You didn't need to concern yourself over the T-track being closer to the saw. The Evening Woodworker (czcams.com/video/lNRQ42qDPmc/video.html) created a simple one foot block to used as a standard. He even had a tape measure that had two readings for this accommodation.
