58 - Miter Saw Station, страница 16
Portable, sturdy, adjustable, and accurate. This miter saw station has it all m iter saws are showing up in a lot of woodworking »shops — and outside the shop as well. And that's the main reason for the miter saw station shown above. It's packed with features that make it a great project — whether you're in the shop or on the job site. Portable - The station is designed to be portable. In the shop it can rest on a bench or on a fold-out, wall-mounted bracket (photo above). And when you need to move outside the shop, just lift the station off the bracket and use a pair of sawhorses for support (photo below). Adjustable - But there's something I like even more about this project — its adjustability. Instead of having the fence and miter saw in a fixed position, they're mounted to platforms that slide along the base (see inset photo above). So when you need more support on one side of the saw than the other, just loosen the platforms, slide them where you need them, and lock them in place. Accurate - But this versatility doesn't come at the expense of accuracy. An adjustable stop that slides in an aluminum T-track makes it extremely accurate. Along with a tape measure and hairline indicator, you can set precise, repeatable measurements. Storage - Now you might think this station will take up a lot of space when you aren't using it. But it's a real space-saver. To store the station, just remove the miter saw, slide the fences together, and hang the base (with the fences) on a cleat mounted to the wall (refer to page 23). 16 ShopNotes : fjjl A Portable. A lightweight design and m.iMM carrying handles make the miter saw station easy to move to the job site. No. 58 |
