Then the craziest thing happened a few weeks ago. I of my friends over on Instagram bankrupt 100k followers and did the COOLEST giveaway ever. I still can't believe it, just he teamed up with Delta to give abroad one of their Delta Cruzer x″ sliding miter saws and I won … like, WHATTT?! What is this life??? I don't even know.

It was a completely random drawing and I guess I remembered to do all the correct things to enter and BAM. Here we are.

And so this new DIY miter saw stand goes out to the new saw – yous the real MVP of the shop!

Last summer I congenital a stationary DIY miter saw bench for my very showtime saw – a well used DeWalt from the ol' Craigslist. And when I say well used, I hateful I bought this matter off a contractor later similar ten years in the field. I was hoping to upgrade this summertime, so this giveaway was really unbelievable. The large miter saw station is smashing, just my FAVORITE FAVORITE workbench is the mobile workbench I congenital for the table saw. I work out of the garage, and then my goal is to exist able to pull everything to the center to work and then push information technology dorsum to the sides then we can pull the car in. The big workbench works great along the back wall, but I wanted to try out a mobile correspond the miter saw every bit well, but to see how it helps with work flow.

Alright, here you get – DIY mobile miter saw stand with collapsible wings.

** NOTE: I built this workbench and so the wings are at standard kitchen counter-top height (36″). If you're tall, you may want to adjust the legs to make it a little taller.

Step 1.

Build the frames for the centre of the mobile miter saw stand up. Brand sure the frame is foursquare and use 2 2 one/2″ cocky tapping screws on each end of the 2x4s to attach them together.

Assemble two frames – one for the miter saw shelf and one for the lesser shelf.

Stride ii.

Repeat the same procedure to build two frames for the wings as shown below. Again use two 2 1/2″ self taping screws on each end of the 2x4s.

Step 3.

Next, attach the legs to the heart frame. Line the legs up and then they're affluent with the edges and bottom of the first frame. Utilise 2 1/2″ self tapping screws to secure them.

I used three screws per leg – ii through the side 2x4s and one through the eye of the ends of the forepart and dorsum 2x4s.

Repeat for the 2d center frame.

Step 4.

Now it's time to attach the folding brackets.

The brackets came with exactly ZERO instructions, only they're pretty straightforward. I didn't apply the included screws since they were huge and looked similar they'd split and destroy the 2x4s. Instead, I opted to use 1 1/4 self borer screws and washers.

Line the bracket up with the outside of the leg, level information technology, and marshal it at the top to hold the wing level with the top of your miter saw table and fence. The tabletop of my miter saw sits at 3 5/8″, so I set the brackets and so the wings fold up exactly level with that.

Utilise a long 6″ fleck to reach in the bracket and adhere it to the legs.

I ended up removing the single 2 ane/2″ screws I drove through the end of each of those center frame 2x4s then I could get the brackets in the correct place. I took the spiral out, lined the subclass upwards where information technology needed to be, then used a washer and that same 2 i/2″ spiral to secure the very top of each bracket. So the screw and joint is still the same – it's just holding the subclass every bit well.

You can opt to leave those screws out until now when you attach the brackets, or just remove them i by 1 as you lot attach the brackets like I did.

I used ane ane/iv″ screws and washers to secure the rest of the subclass.

Step 5.

Once the brackets are secured to the legs, position the wings and attach the brackets to them.

The brackets should be centered in the bottom of the wing 2x4s.

Make sure everything is square – information technology may take a little shimming and finagling – and then the brackets slide smoothly.

Pace half dozen.

Flip the whole affair over and adhere the locking casters to the bottom. I suppose you could practise this before attaching the wings, but I did it after – totally upwardly to you!

I used 1 1/4″ screws and washers to secure the casters. The holes for attaching the casters are larger than the screw heads, thus the washers.
