I never liked my Dewalt chop saw stand very much. Found enough scrap in the boneyard to put together this stand to replace it. It's not much to look at but it works great, cost nothing, and only took about 2 beers time to build. The intent was to only use it for crown, but it's light and I bring it everywhere now.
It works awesome for positive stop scenarios. The last pic is my stand in use today, bulk cutting some t&g mahogany for some deck skirting.
I am curious to see if anyone else is rocking a homemade??

No outriggers Lee,,...........:blink: nice stand but how do you cut long trim on that..........:blink: I'm surprised you don't have that saw nested on a stationary set up...you have enough room certainly.....


Is he referencing the stand question to be portable or stationary....?

Same height as my tablesaw. If I need long I rest it on that.

Very light and fast. I've just had crown or floppy mdf slide off the support ends one too many times. I still use my Dewalt stand for my nonslide chop saw, and I've been abusing it for 7 years now. It is a great stand. Mine is just beat to s.

I have been wanting to build this one out of a Woodsmith magazine I received awhile back... But then again I still have to build the Paulk Workbench from the plans I bought before that as well, so it might be awhile... :laughing:

In the meantime though my Dewalt stand is doing it's job well.

 

[totes]

More interested in what we put our Festivus poles in....
So tired of that.....

B,

No disrespect taken. This is the first contractor forum I've ever been on. I didn't know this was a thread I shouldn't have started.
In my defense, the title of my thread is "homemade chop saw stands". If that is to redundant and lame, then the thread title should have been sufficient warning.
Here's what I've done for the last 3 days with my saw. No big deal, I can tell you are a woodworker and probably will laugh at what I do. Pays the bills, and the client is happy. Super quick front porch rebuild, post paint to be done by HO and metal railing handled by my bud. Just worked almost a month strait, even thanksgiving. Tonight starts a week vacay and Im tying it on pretty well.
Cheers!

Here is my dewalt stand but a little customized, could not do without it, I'll get it out for just one cut, its got a stop as long as 11' 6", I 've had it for at least five years

 

[mbryan]

Love some of these! Anytime I have done then I have had an issue with the wings moving. What do you guys do to keep them from doing that? I know the simple answer is to clamp it but guessing someone had a much better solution....

What's the story with that Extendo Fence? That looks awesome!

Actually I've seen a lot of threads on miter saw stands, but not that many on home made miter saw stands. So what's old to some may be new to others. Please carry on.

When I don't have an interest in a thread I don't participate. I don't try to push my dislike on others who may want to. Especially not to a point where it is rude to another poster who is new and doesn't have the knowledge that I have of other threads that may or may not of been posted before. Your welcome to start a post on anything you wish within the forum rules. And I really like the idea of some new opinions and ideas around here. The new posters are very important in this area. They should be treated with a little latitude.........Just my .02
