Increase the capacity of your tablesaw and router by
combining them in one accommodating twin-cabinet design. The

This compact, wheeled work center provides all kinds of room
for router bits, saw blades, miter gauges, wrenches, and
other accessories. Includes the Easy-Mover Mobile Base.

We built this sturdy mitersaw stand 24" deep to accommodate
a 12" compound mitersaw. If you have a 10" saw, you can make
the stand as shallow as 18". Be sure to measure your saw
before you start construction. Also, allow space to pivot
and bevel the saw blade/motor assembly, room to adjust the
bevel angle, and space for dust-collection fittings.
When building your stand, customize it to fit your workshop
and mitersaw. To do this, keep the top surface of the stand
flush with the top surface of your mitersaw table.
For accurate and consistent cuts when trimming pieces to
length, add the bonus fence stop plan included with this
plan.
