Chop saw Station on my Workbench with a turntable - Looking for Design Ideas

admin

My shop is only 20x20, so efficiency of space is always a premium for me.  I've got a little 6' x 2' workbench that I also use as a cutting station for my dry cut saw.  I've been thinking about devising a way to put a turntable in one end of the the bench top...so I can make miter cuts without needing to pull the table out to the center of the shop every time I need to miter-cut something.I don't have the space to build a dedicated chop say station from scratch - so I'm trying to make this work instead.  If any of you have built a stand/table/bench with a carousel or turntable in it for chop saw miter cuts, would you mind posting pics and/or describing for me how you built it?  I probably wouldn't be opposed to buying a turntable or carousel if necessary, but I always try to figure out if I can fabricate something myself before I spend money on something I could have built myself...Here's what the current workbench looks like - with the saw - in the space I have to work with.

Reply:I would locate saw just to right of bench so you could use bench as a feed table. At point you could make a turntable for saw.Dave
