Thank you so very much for your kind words...that's what keeps me going 😀 Wes
I want to thank you Wes that you keep it real. There is soo much out there that have become swayed by sponsors, that tell us that we need to buy all of this expensive equipment to become a good wood worker, instead of encouraging us that practice is what will make us good wood workers. We do need the right to for the job, but we do not need EVERY tool to do the job. You are an inspiration to me.
Wes, great video. Thank you. I have that same saw, and I had the same issue where my saw was a 1/16 lower than the extension wings. It was driving me crazy. I took extreme care to get that dimension correct. I finally realize that the rubber feet would compress slightly when I screwed the saw to the base.
Great...thanks for comment! Wes
Great video. I am in the process of organising my work cabin and a saw station has on my mind. Anything to make life easier. I may recess my saw to the level of what ever bench I build. I found out yesterday the saw is 22 years old and I have been fighting with long pieces for that long, what was I thinking. You have given me some Ideas and I am glad you are still practicing your mistakes. At this stage of my life I should have a Degree in them.
I hope you going to show the finished product 😊

Wes, thank you for an excellent video. Building a bench for my miter saw is on my list of things to do also. You have provided some very good information I will be using. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for your kind words...glad to be of help. Wes
Wes, my good man please stop calling it a chop saw it is a miter saw, chop saws cut metal miter saws cut wood lol I love what you do, I have been a Carpenter and woodworker for around 30 years now and I still love it. I am nearing completion of a Oak shaker inspired Writing desk. How can I send you some pictures of my work?😁
I would love to see them! My email address is woodworkingwithwes@gmail.com
Yes it is confusing to me, a beginner, when he calls it that.
Thanks for another nice video Wes. Gotta say stop buying from Amazon, its rare anymore to find anything cheaper on Amazon and it will only get worse as they gain more and more market share and put you local businesses of business. They are usually higher than a local store on most items now but, the youngsters don't know anything but ordering from Amazon.
What about FLEX Sliding miter saw?
Nice build, but how about if you need to remove the miter saws extension fence?
Hi...the extension fence is permanently attached for stability, no need to remove it. Thanks for watching, Wes
I know that there will be no stress on the in-feed portion of your miter saw station, but why did you use regular wood glue on two pieces of melamine? Contact cement or epoxy would actually bind those surfaces together while wood glue will not.
Just curious. Did he say why Makita over Bosch or Festool?
A matter of preference.
I have the Bosch GCM12SD. Works well for me.
He said he followed the recommendation of a friend, who is a high end builder. Really surprised that guy didn’t have and recommend Festool. I was just wondering if there was more to it.
Appreciate the info on Makita Chop saws, you didnt see any benefit of having the 12'' vs the 10" for "us average users.... Good to know. Make another quick video on how this finishes up to be used. Dont have to be long, just fill us in..
Great idea...thanks. I will include this in my final shop tour! Wes
I’m not a fan that you didn’t finish showing your fix for the saw, the build or at least the other side finished and how you finished using a vac system. Start to finish or maybe in a next day follow-up vid when you make a video.
