Don's Woodworking Pages - Miter Saw Table |
This is the miter saw table/storage
bench I built. It replaced some steel shelves I was previously
using (which I hated). It took about a month and a half to build (mainly
because my real job got in the way). The design is a combination of
several different designs I've seen or heard of. I used the best of each
one and combined them all together. The dust collection is an idea I came
up with while building it. Amazingly, even with the flex and 90° elbows,
the suction is very strong and catches a large amount of the dust coming off the
saw. The "catch box" helps a lot, as does the 2.5 inch hose
coming off the top of the saw housing. The top of the catch box comes off in case I
need to make miter cuts. The sides were built as to not interfere with
making miters, including compounds.
I used cabinet grade birch plywood for the outside, drawer fronts and doors
(wrapped in maple), and CDX plywood for the interior partitions, the top, and
the stretchers. The drawer boxes are made from baltic birch. The top
was finished off with 1/4 inch tempered hardboard and wrapped in maple.
The miter extensions are made with 3/4 inch lightweight MDF, edge banding, and
more 3/4 inch CDX plywood.
