Chop Saw Miter Stand

admin

Does anybody have a good design of a miter stand for their chop saw?  I get tired of moving the stock to cut a 45 degree miter on square tubing.  I would rather move the saw than the stock.
Reply:How about putting a center pivot under your chop saw so you rotate the saw not the material you want to cut??modify one of these.http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php...=chopsaw+standhttp://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php...ighlight=standHave fun Tom

Reply:http://www.powerbench.com/features.phpFriend has one of these, it looks AWESOME! A bit pricey, but made out of real steel and looks to be well designed.
Reply:Here is what I did for a stand for my chop saw. I used a cheap mitre saw stand from Harbor Freight. Added a wider top since the saws vice is in a different location than on a wood cutting mitre saw. The saw needed to sit further back than a Mitre saw sits.
Reply:I am really looking for a design that would let me pivot the saw 45 degrees left or right on the miter saw stand I already have(kind of like the power bench above).  That way I don't have to set up a roller stand away from the table to cut my miters on.
Reply:I use the roller stands because I dont have a lot of extra room. When not in use it doesnt take up a lot of room. I want to build some table attachments that will give me about 30" off each side of the saw, but I want them removable.
