- Simple Mobile Miter Saw Station with Dust Collection and Storage
I recently upgraded my miter saw and wanted to build a compact mobile stand for its new home. It needed to be heavy duty with lockable casters so I could move it around the workshop and outside for large projects.
So I designed this simple miter saw station that fits my needs. I hope you can get some inspiration from it too.

Just came across this video and while it is three years old, I wanted to give some advice to others who might see this while planning for their own miter saw station. If you put the two side leafs upside down on a flat work bench or floor, and then position then prop the main stand upside down on two wood pieces the exact height of the saw base, you don't have to fight gravity with clamps and extra wood when aligning and attaching the hinges.
I have decided to start a woodworking business from my home and just purchased my first mitre saw. I've been researching stands all day and decided to check YT to see what was out there and crossed your video. LOVE this idea. I don't have a 'shop' and am using my garage for now. So having a place to store the saw on this stand is perfect for what I need. I will be doing this project next for sure!
Best wishes to your new business
I absolutely love your videos! I am a 64 yr old grandma that just got into woodworking. You make things so easy even this old gal can make it! Thank you for all your efforts & allow us to see whoopsies too! When I make mistakes I know I learned something! Thank you again! You are appreciated!
It's great that you're getting into something new and learning woodworking. Looking forward to hearing what you make. Thanks for all your sweet comments. Have fun building.
Just started building this myself. Miter stands are anywhere from 200-300+ dollars and do the most basic thing. Hold the saw. This idea costs maybe 50 or 60 dollars for everything and gives you storage space and movement. Think I'm really going to love it. Video is super clear and easy to follow. Got a new subscriber. Thank you
As a new woodworker this project looks easy enough for me to tackle. I started building a workbench yesterday and learned how to use my pocket hole jig. Cutting 8foot 2x4’s was a little hard on the miter saw so I definitely need that stand. I think this will be my next project. Thanks!
You have given this beginner some really helpful ideas. As I build mine I will build the back board and two sides higher so as to have a better chance of collecting (or at least containing) more dust. Also, mounting the dust port on the back board just across from the exhaust port will collect (I believe) more dust than mounting it on the bottom. Staining the boards made the project very attractive. Great job!
Noice!! This is the Miter saw table I've been looking for! Thanks for keeping it simple. I'm new to woodworking and have limited space too. I'm in the process of making tables for my workshop.
Love the table, but I don't like the loose 2x4's for the wing supports. I would probably have put a support structure on on hinges that swing out to support the wings, and then fold back in. Just my 2 cents, but love it otherwise.
the simplicity of this build is a real strength for novice builder's like myself. Thanks for sharing. You prompted my creativity.
Instead of a middle shelf you could leave the lower cavity open for a shopvac to attach to your downdraft. Love the simplicity of your build.
Thanks Aaron, and good idea.
I am planning to use this design for myself, but instead, will leave out the bottom shelf for sliding in the shop vac, with space in the back. This means the front and rear 2x4 will not be there, just running a flat 2x3 on the bottom sides.
I am a beginner and really need something like this. Looks simple enough to make. Thank you for this great video!
So refreshing to see that you made it from 2x4s and basic plywood, instead of expensive Baltic birch plywood!
Thanks, I tried to keep it inexpensive for the average at home workshop.
Love the build as it can be done with what I have lying around in my garage. Simple, yet solid. Thanks for the video!
Hands down genius. I’m building that table for my workshop this weekend. Thank you!
Since you made a point of inviting comments, I'd have given the caster pattern a broader stance laterally and made the wings as long as possible. That said, I like your project for its direct approach and quick build. I have mixed emotions about elaborate shop furniture projects. The negative aspect is that it is like making yourself the most elaborate Christmas present of all. That's a thumbs up for you.
Thank you. Modifications are always welcome, and yours sounds like a good idea.
Great idea. Going to add a couple of things to it. Making it to where I can interchange the miter saw with my sander, grinding wheel, and a vise. Will store all under the table. Additionally, I am making a stop sled that attaches to the wings for repeated cuts of the same measurement. Adding a plywood box cover for storage when not in use. This is the best idea I have seen to this point for a portable miter saw table.
Thank you. Those will be some nice upgrades too.
If you pause on 6:08 you can see there is about 5 inches of space. I would extend the wings to the length of the stand frame to give it a clean profile looks when stowed. Thinking this might be my weekend project. Nice job!
You're onto something. Extending those wings all the way to the floor would do 2 important things: streamline the look, and make it more solid. The "legs" or supports for the wings could go to the floor as well. That would address SparkyGT's comment above. I like the added mobility of the wheels, but I'd think it would not be that often that you'd move it, and you could still do that with the wings raised. Just a thought. Great space-saving table idea for a station.
I think drilling a hanging hole in the prop and hanging it off of a nail, screw or hook on the back edge of the side shelf would work better. Great build!
I just bought my first miter saw and thinking of very nearly the same thing although had not thought of the wings. I did some experiments and have decided to make a rear thin sheet wall (1/4" plywood maybe) that slides up for greater sawdust retention, and go with a rectangle opening bin under the rear of the saw, from about half way under the miter table and up to the sheet wall, then incorporate a small vacuum in the table to allow a local hose for clean up. But seeing yours gives me even more ideas. Thanks.
Like the cabinet/cart. Would use 2×4 for legs and 1x3 for the remainders. Think I would use a piano hinge for the drop leaves. Would use a butterfly wing to support the extensions and attach it to the back leg to allow mounted storage. I only use my miter saw outside due to small workshop and DUST. Portable wheel cart beats carrying the saw to an outside location. Thanks for the detailed information and sharing!
Very nice! I'm going to give this build a shot very soon. I need this badly in my garage. Thank you for sharing this build!!
I like it a lot. Simple and practical and strong. Thank you.
I’ve been looking at a lot of mitre saw builds and I like the simplicity and workability of yours. I am just starting to put a wood shop together and looking for ideas. Thank you for sharing.
There are a bunch of great ideas out there, so thank you very much. I wish you the best in your journey to build your shop.
Yes it's nice and well made just put a cord on the 2x4 bracket so it doesn't go missing
Very nice! Going to make one of those for my crowded work area! Thank you!
I was kicking around ideas on how I was going to build side extensions for the miter saw table I built and this video solved the problem, Thank you
I had a miter saw for Christmas present from my wife,what a fantastic build👍👍I will be making this very soon I hope,when I get the wood.Once again thankyou
Have fun building
Best chopsaw tabLe build yet! Thanks!
What an awesome idea. You can even transport this to a job site.
Thumbs up, Guy, but I'd like to encourage everyone who feasibly can to buy their 2xs ahead of time, stand them separated and on end to quickly air dry them, then joint and saw the stock square. Shop projects will have a longer, happier lifespan that way. I live in Wyoming and more than 40 years ago asked a lumberman what the grade stamp "semi-dry" meant on his 2x4s. He said it meant they were dried on the semi on the way down from Montana.
I like the simplicity of the 2x4 legs, I’m trying similar but hanging the legs on the back or side, a dowel or nail with hole on 2x4s
Absolutely love this chanel. I wish I'd come across this earlier. Brilliant ideas. Thank you so much.
Love the way you describe the solution.
Wonderful option for a smaller shop!
Nice color scheme too
I really appreciate the video brother i just like many others have a small shop i would like to have seen this as a flip top or dual miter saw planer station i also appreciate you using your safety glasses be it breathing or hearing people should realize how important this is even when swinging a hammer one should be wears safety glasses.
This is an improved version of the portable miter station I was planning. One thing I would change is maybe put a magnet on the side support and just place it vertically along the front of the station. Great design!!!
I like your work and the way you build simple yet functional products
Great video! Wondering if you might share the measurements for cutting the plywood? Am basically a beginner and this would help in my planning as I need to have home depot cut the plywood for me so I can get it home. A full sheet of plywood won't fit in my car! Thanks!
Now I know what I am building next. Great step by step instructions.
Man that's a great idea! I've been debating building a miter station into my workbench, but I'm just working in my normal 2 car garage, where cars are also parked when I'm not working. I don't think I could sacrifice that space! A folding and mobile miter station though may just do the trick! I'm thinking some kind of a slot to stick those support brackets on the back, because I know my knobby knees would smack that board every time I walked by!
I really love the colour of the tops so great job. I like too the folding wings although for the supports I would prefer to use some metal brackets support of some sort.
cheers mate. I like the style of the build. Practical but still looking somewhat sharp
Nice set up for people that are mobile or lack space like myself. Sadly I already installed flooring in 4 rooms and a hallway before seeing your idea. I like the use of 2x4's.
Definitely think I'll go with this for the most part but I'm going to make the wings longer and see if I can find folding brackets or something to attach permanently for locking the wings up in place.
Simple and great. Thank you. God bless you.
out of the solutions to hold up the wings I like your simple solution the best
Can't wait to build this!
Maybe you could drill through the 2x4 support bar and hang it vertically on one of the foldable tops. Clear some legroom and keep it out of sight, out of mind!
THAT IS GENIUS!!!!
I look forward to building this ASAP!!!
Awesome, I truly hope you enjoy it.
Man...great job on this project! Now, I hope the owner of the company that I work for will allow us to build this portable table for our miter saw. Everything that you used we have it in our scrap yard. The only thing we just have to buy are the hinges and the Rolling Wheels. Being that we don't have much space in our work area for something big, this is so perfect for our shop!
Great build! I'm in the process of getting ideas for a mobile build for my sliding miter saw. Thanks.
Simple and direct. I like it.
Thanks for the great video. My 12-inch DeWalt will arrive in a few days, so it's good to know one more fantastic way to build a table. Stay healthy.
I like this stand and I think I'm going to build one similar. The only thing I think I'll add to it is some tracks on the wings that I can add saw stops to.
I really like your plan and probably will use your pattern for my station!!
Really. Nice. Love to have. Building. Plans for this. Minor. Saw. Table
Hey all in all I like the build. My only critiques would be to use stronger hinges for the wings and a better locking system. Also maybe it’s an optical illusion but to the naked eye, at 9:10 the saw plane looks about 1/4-3/8” higher then the wings. With that being said I like the over all design. Great job and keep posting, I get a lot of good ideas from your projects. 👍
Great video! An alternative to storing the wing supports on the shelf is to recess magnets in the support and side of the wing and store it there. Make sure you have the polarity of the magnets in proper order. Opposites attract. I've watched all your videos and think they are very creative and helpful. Keep on keeping on...
Thank you very much
I really like the way the stain offsets the top from the frame. Not sure about the way you have the wings held in place, will have to come up with something different but over all a great looking build. I give it a big thumbs up !!
Thank you very much
I'm a beginner, rank amateur... I love your approach and will use R&D (Ripoff and Duplicate) from your vids!! Thank you!!
I hope it benefits your workshop.
I’d probably drill a big hole in the support bar and put a screw on the back of the stand to hang them off of. Great video!!
simple design. I like it. going to try to make one.
I just upgraded into a Hitachi sliding miter saw C8FSHE and my earlier 12 foot long miter station is no suitable for this. Fortunately, in my first search on youtube, i discovered this video. It just fits into my requirement and within my skill set and tool set to build it. Thanks for sharing this crisp build video. Your voice and narration is great
Old Newbie - Wing Support I really like the simple approach. You should consider adding a hole at the top and center of each 2"X4" resting wing box (close to hinge) and a protruding dowel to the end of each wing support. When not in use can let each support hang down flush against the side of each resting wing, either in the back (out of the way) or in the front using the dowel and a loose fitting hole.
Hi from Greece! It came out great it 's small sturdy and handy! Thanks for sharing 👍
It is always Awesome to meet new people from the other side of the world. Thank you for taking the time to watch this project.
Wow! Absolutely awesome! God bless you sir!
Yeah, I'm so building this! Thanks!!
Thanks, Looking for a simple mobile table for my garage. This should work great!
I like it. I have almost that same wheeled miter saw table you built so I may add those wings.
Hi, I am starting to build a workshop in the box room of our house, I suffer from arthritis and my workshop is made of concrete and is so cold it is impossible for me to work in there. Your mitre saw station is perfect for the space that I have.
I am going to have a go at building the station.
Thanks
DUNCAN
I hope it works out great for you
Looks really nice,,, i like the two-tone color!
A very simple build...I may try an duplicate the cart. great ideas
Nice Video and Setup. How about adding some Velcro to the wing support beam and the back of the two legs on the stand? (Or drill a some hole in each beam and hang them in the same location.)
You could store the support beams there when not in use. That would free of some shelf space as well. I’m 6’2 and I’m sure that my legs would find a way to hit those beams sticking out like that.
I just want to take a moment and saw, I very much enjoy your videos, very well laid out, and simple instructions. Thank you very much.
That means a lot, thank you for your support
Love it I think the shelf would be a good place for some HF boxes
This looks like it could be used as a kitchen island as well. With the cut out for the dust collector used as a scraps/ tradh drop zone. The folding wings/ arms being higher up than the main top, may be more beneficial than some may think at first. The wall behind the dust cut out would also function as a back splash. I have a set of casters just waiting to have their purpose with this in my kitchen.
With some wood raw, and some stained, it makes the piece visually appealing. I also believe that keeping with 2x4's makes the unit seem like it could stand up to our cast iron cookery collection. Thank you for your video, and the inspiration it has given me.
Thank you for the support and the great ideas. That does sound like it could be very useful if done correctly. If you build it, please let me know, I would love to see it.
Great job. Love the stain.
Nice work, way to keep everything mobile. I have a steel cabinet with wheels for the center section. I'll adapt your wing design and attach them providing a tremendous amount of support for long boards. Thanks for the information and inspiration. Cheers, Pete
Sounds like a good plan
Very good mitre saw table. I might make one like that and store the stand I bought for it for outside use. With the stand it takes up a lot of room especially when I made a roller on castors for it. Too bulky
Howdie awesome thanks for sharing your project with us Makin a choice to build or out of metal and this is it for a guy trying wood out this looks easy not rocket science or mechanical engineering so will give it ago again ya got this and the plans are normal for young woodsman people so from Canada 🇨🇦 SK later keep them coming ya got my vote mighty fine Sir
Very simple and useful. Thanks man
Absolutely Brilliant idea, will be constructing one myself as soon as the weather permits, cheers.
Thank you very much
That is a great miter station. Thanks for that. I will definitely be building one for my shop.
Great design and simple build. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, I love woodworking.
Man that's really nice especially the stain which shows two different colors, really cool !!!👍🏿👌🏿👊🏿
just what I am looking for, thanks. will be making my own soon
Very cool 😎! Sturdy enough for"timbers" if needed!
Kudos 👍!
Now having this table for about a year and a half, would you change anything? How is the dust collector? Did it work out the way you hoped? Nice job on the video.
Loved this video Been pondering how to build a stand for my mitre saw. The wings here are a terrific option for a small space like mine. Will be thinking more about the wing supports and checking out other comments on that. thank you.
I too have a space issue in my shop and this design is going to work perfect. Thank you
Your videos are always very practical - use of affordable materials, no fancy and expensive tools involved in making. I am long time subscriber and follower.
I have recently bought a 12" sliding miter saw and need to build something like this. One quick question - what height do you find to be convenient. I know you mentioned 36" when cutting the legs. Will you be able to tell me what height your final saw bed is at? I might have to design according to my saw dimensions and also account for cater wheel height. Any other insights or improvements you can recommend are also appreciated.
Thanks and keep up the great work.
Buy brackets for the wings. Nice design. Looks great.
GREAT 4 A SMALL SHOP LIKE MINE... GOOD JOB BUDDY....👍HIGH 5 FROM PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷 ...."KEEP WOODING"......!!!!
TOMORROW....." HOME DEPOT.... HERE I COME "
very nice and just plain simple
Marvelous work and I just love it! You really got passion for what you obviously love to do and that's why you pay attention to every single detail in your work. .
Thanks D L K
This is awesome - so simple compared to some of the others I have seen! NIce work!
LOVED the video! So easy to follow. Thank you :)
I like it. Nice and compact.
I would glue/screw another layer of plywood to the belly of the wings, then add a t-track and adjustable stop block for repeat cuts.
Very nice i like the way you did the wings
Great job, think I’m deff gonna use ur design. Really like how u walk through the build
