Buy better 2x4's Bill. They only cost $ 0.50 more than the "interesting"
stuff.

Yes, it's good for the soul! : )

The main thing that is making me pause (and ponder) is the "fine
tuning": How to get the sides precisely the same as the height of the
saw.

I just got this idea:
How about securing the saw to a square plywood base (4 bolts), then
using about 12 more bolts to secure that base say 1" above another
plywood base, using 3 nuts to accomplish this for the latter 12 (one at
the bottom securing the bolt to the lower base, and one above and below
the top base).

That ought to save about $200, I mean support the saw, ya think?! Let me
know if "the picture" is not clear.

It's easier to adjust the saw. Aim for about 1/16" to 1/8" low and use
washers and shim stock to bring it up to the height of the sides.

Careful measurements or a story stick, and a good cut.

That can work Bill, but it seems overly complicated to me. It's not hard to
measure the height of your saw, and then just cut lumber to fit. Cut a
whisker fat and creep up on it if you need to in order to be more
comfortable about it.

Since the heavy saw on a base is being supported by a structure of bolts
mounted in plywood, 8-12 of them seems prudent (to me), as they will
support a fair amount of weight and vibration.

And if, I mean when, anything changes (for instance if the wood sags a
little), I will be able to adjust height/level of the saw with relative
ease using nuts. Is there any reason to use other than size 3/8" hex
bolts (and the obvious washers and split washers) for this purpose?

Well, with that "leveling issue" more or less worked out, I can start
thinking about the rest of the stand. I really like the design stage!
Admittedly, I'm far from the advanced level where I might consider
"abstract elements" such as BBQ grills in my design--maybe someday! : )

More later!

Cheers,
Bill

This is where the experiences of others can save you a bunch of worry and
unnecessary design time. There isn't a need for a double base. Your saw
has a plenty sturdy enough casting for a base. You can simply use the
mounting bolts that go through the base to make any adjustments. You
certainly can over design based on things that seem intuitive to you, but
we're trying to help you by telling you that those particular worries are
not valid.

You aren't going to see sag if you build it properly. The weight is
distributed evenly across a farily wide area. Use 3/4" plywood and it won't
sag over the area that you're talking about. Look at the pictures that have
been posted. Karl and I have both posted pictures that disprove your
worries about sag. And mine - because it was never meant to be permanant,
was thrown together with MDF. It has not sagged at all, and still cuts just
like it did when I built it. You're worrying too much again Bill.

You've more than worked it out Bill - you've made it an issue that did not
exist.

Having lived for years with a shimmed miter saw installation (plastic
shims when they became available) on a shop built wooden stand, I concur
with your quest to come up with some type of metal, screw/thread based,
leveling/flushing mechanism.

If you can pull it off, you will find that to be a much more preferable
solution than shimming a miter saw, where being flush with the wings can
affect both the cut and safety, and all too often has to be tweaked with
every change in weather or movement.

I see (I think). I apply the 3-nut on a bolt system to the saw base
(atop the plywood base). That WILL save some time, and I will only need
4 bolts.

Reading Karl's comment I am now wondering if I somehow lost track of the
conversation. Are you thinking about building a stand like Karl showed used
to have Bill? Somehow I had the notion that you were going down the road of
something less permanent. My comments to you might still be appropriate if
you are thinking of a rig like Karl's original stand, but I guess I'm
confused as to your direction.

As for movement - I have never had to adjust my stand or my saw. That might
be because of large differences in humidity between Houston and Syracuse,
which causes Karl problems that I don't see up here, or it could be because
Karl is much more critical of tolerances than I am. With the work he
produces, the latter could very well be the case.

My miter saw stand of old was entirely of plywood, but it was
dimensionally unstable to the point that I had to adjust/re-shim more
than a few times a year.

The fact that it left the shop a few times a year, and the Gulf Coast
temperature and humidity swings, were undoubtedly the reason ... very
little to do with AR tendencies when it comes to precision, but some of
that too.

Well, whatever I build will probably last as long as your BBQ grill
miter saw stand. That's just the way life is. I regret I don't have a
saw yet to use my dado blade. I may use a router-- or my joiner!

Using Karl's words, a "screw/thread based, leveling/flushing mechanism"
may not be inappropriate. Since the saw has four unthreaded 1/2" holes
for fastener bolts, and four 3/16" holes too, attaching the saw to a
second piece of plywood sounds right. It can then be afixed, and
leveled, with 10-12 more bolts. If I am told this is overkill, then I
may cut back. The temperatures are still in the low to mid 20's here,
so I'm still in the talking stage. However, I drew some diagrams today.
A decent stand gets big (long) fast!

Karl made a remark about *safety* that drew my attention. What is at
risk if the blade gets pinched in a cut?

My fence isn't flat, so the blade does occasionally get pinched in the
cut. Usually, nothing too bad happens and I just have to stop the cut
and sometimes start again.

It's entirely possible, however, that the piece could get caught, lifted,
and then thrown back (or richochet) in your direction. Eye protection is
a must when using any power saw.

"Kickforward" is common with a miter saw if the back edge of the piece
being cut is not flush with the fence (bowed, uneven or wany), or below the
plane of the wings (due to binding). Easier to control than kickback on a
TS, but still a dangerous circumstance.

The most dangerous cut on a miter saw is one that is not backed up firmly
to the fence ... ALWAYS insure that the cut on a miter saw is made with the
stock firmly against the fence, including edge on angle cuts. No
exceptions.

A trick one of the guys I worked with showed me was to put a 2x4 or
equivalent between the fence and the blade so the offcut wasn't against
the fence on the other side - worked wonders when cutting hardwood with
an unfinished edge.

An "extension" to the fence is not an "exception", but is in actuality
still using the fence.

I'll say it again, you want to get hurt on a miter saw sooner or later,
practice cutting without using the fence, you will live to regret it.

....that and using a blade with a lot of positive rake. I learned that the
hard way when I mounted my Freud Ultimate Crosscut blade on the CMS. It
would pick up short cut offs and wing them violently... I didn't realize
what was causing the problem initially and ended up damaging the blade
guard. That blade works just fine on the table saw... Stick with neutral or
negative rake teeth on the CMSs... My Forrest Chopmaster blade leaves
cutoffs laying on the saw and if they vibrate into the blade before it stops
they just sit there.

My lesson was similar some 35 years ago, cutting an angle on the end of
a longer board without backing up the cut with the fence/or clamps ...
luckily all I lost were four finger nails on my left hand (and a months
worth of bass gigs) when the blade hit a defect and slammed the board
against the fence, taking my hand with it.

The speed at which it happened still makes me shiver at the thought.

any power tool is ready to pounce, when you use it

take a Milwakee magnum 1/2" holeshooter and get it in a bind

I think that was the problem too with mine before I destroyed my
Makita,, I had the 80tooth Freud, and it lifted the piece up and I had
kick back. Freud replaced the blade, (everyone here told me I must not
have had it against the fence,but it happened again after the
replacement blade came in, and yes I had it against the fence.

My older blade never had that happen, so I came to the same conclusion
that the rake (even though they said it was for miter saws) was too much
for the CMS...

That was a costly blade to have to learn that on.

I was wondering what you were referring to when you had posted your original
caution, not able to figure out what you meant. Now I understand. With
that understanding - I fully agree.

Bill,

I used to mount goosenecks for Telephone entry systems and card readers
for apartment complexes and that is exactly the method I used. I would
put bolts into the base and with one nut above the mounting plate and
another below. I believe that this is the same method they use around
here for street lights in parking lots. With 12 bolts you should be able
to account for any sag you might get in the middle.

Steve

Why is it we're suddenly seeing all of these replies to ancient posts? In
this case we're talking five years although in one recent case it was
fifteen(!) years old. C'mon folks. Take a look at the original date and ask
yourself if anything you post might still be relevant.

Because it is just a click bait troll for the link (same one for every
post) that is always posted?

"Click on over here to see the context - and we need/want all the clicks
we can get. Rather than just asking, "Please click our link" someone is
doing his best to be sneaky and hoping his post garners a click or two.

Home Moaners Hub and Google Groups, neither of which prominently show
the posting date apparently. HMH is simply driving traffic to their
site, so they likely DGAS.

Not sure what you mean by that. Both HOH and GG prominently show the date
in the upper right corner of every post. HOH even includes the words
"posted on".

DGAS?

What does the Delta Natural Gas Company have to do with this? Do you
own some of their stock? ;-)

That's DAGS, not DGAS.

II was giving Scott a little bit of Mike's $hit. ;-)

That's one of the beauties of using GG.
Very portable and sync'd across all devices.


One of few, maybe the only one.
