Miter Saw Station Build + Radial Arm Saw - Cabinets & Top & Fence
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 вер 2024
- For a long time I have wanted to build a miter saw station and incorporate my radial arm saw into it so they share a long fence and bench top. I planned it a long time ago... replanned it... and tweaked it... and dreamed of building it. I came into a bunch of free plywood not too long ago and decided this would be the perfect way to use it. So I got the plans all ready, broke it up into phases since I have limited time to pull the project off, and started building phase one... the cabinets and bench top.
In this video I go through the process I used and the plan I have. I show the basic construction design of the cabinets I am building and how I used the Jay Bates cabinet levelers with t-nuts and carriage bolts.

very nice build. I too am looking forward to see what else you do. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks, Richard. I appreciate that. I am looking forward to finishing it. I have some other things that got in the budgetary way but I'll get there.
Thanks for the reply👍🏻. I was able to get SketchUp viewer to open and view file but there isn’t cut sheet like video. I think what you gave us is enough to get started. Thanks again for doing what you do. Keep it up
Thank you for this video. I have an old Craftsman radial arm saw that I was going to get rid of to save space until I saw this video. :-)
Great videos, nice to see someone real. No fancy tools, keep it simple. Subscribed based on that alone!!!
Nice build. I got a great deal on discontinued Rockler steel shop stands and made my station out of them (adding plywood tops and sides, cabinet doors, etc.). It can do cuts to either side just over 10 foot.... the entire setup is almost 22 feet along the entire shop wall. I made the auxiliary fences removable, so I can use the sides as work benches when needed.
The one thing you did that I wish I had... in place of a cabinet directly below the saw, leave it open for a trash can!
The 2 best things I liked about this build which are brilliant are the trashcan under the miter saw and the shellac
I absolutely love the build and planning you shared that went into this, amazing job!! I want one just like it for my wood shed that I want to turn into a woodworking starter shop.
Extremely nice work my friend! Thank you so much for sharing, great quality build!!
I have been wanting to build a station exactly like this for some time great video thank you
Very cool
Hey Darin, thanks for the video..simple cabinet design and easily modified to accommodate bench top tools. Just made a workbench and in the middle of a table saw cabinet👍
VERY cool. Thanks. You have any pics of your bench posted?
@@DarinBeard can't really see them in my pvc basics videos, but I'm going to do a couple on dust collection where they will be shown👍
This is on my list of builds. I pretty much have the same requirements (miter saw and radial arm saw). I’ve got them on the same wall now but saving up for the build...eventually.
Great job and the video was outstanding!
Even half done it has already made a big difference in the flow of the shop. I can't wait for the drawers to be done. That'll change it even more. I appreciate your encouragement and kind words. I am looking forward to seeing your shop transformation as you work through it.
Nice start!
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Nice job!
Great video
Hint: build a base frame, a bit shallower than the cabinets, and build the cabinets without toe kicks. Then level out the base frame, then put the cabinets on it.
Awsome I'm looking forward to the rest of the build! At the moment i'm planning on my mitersaw station and I use the same programs, sketchup and maxcut! they are very helpful in my projects.
Nice job
Is part two done yet? Anxious to see it finished
Well, we are moving due to other circumstances so I will never get to finish it. Maybe in the new shop I'll start again.
To level the unit I would of set a datom line so you can figure out where exactly To start being the high point
Great suggestion. I had no idea that floor was that far off so I should've checked from the start.
Nice
you really should do audio books you have a wonderful voice. anyway, does your plan allow for ripping with your radial arm saw . I'm in the middle of this same project. nice work.
I appreciate that. I have done some VO professionally in my life but have not done an audiobook as of yet. I did not set up the radial arm saw to be able to rip cut. I have a table saw that I like and I just use the radial arm saw to cross cut boards too wide for the miter saw mostly. I would love to see what you do for yours when it's done.
my build too starts with clean up but i'm working on it right now i'm still on the fence on whether to add the arm saw to the miter station or not.
@@doug5959 I have actually removed the fence to the left of the miter saw based on logic from the wood whisperer. He made some good points so I decided to remove it. I still have one to the right because the radial arm saw needed a fence.
looking forward to your next video
Good video, just what I needed about now. Will you be selling plans for this build?
I will freely provide the sketchup file when it's done again. I lost the original in a horrible hard drive incident. I am still in mourning. It did send me into the "get everything important into the cloud NOW" phase of my life. It's pretty specific to my shop space but easily modifiable for whatever space it needs to fit. I'll try to remember to ping you here when it's done again.
@@DarinBeard Sorry about your computer information loss, that's really unhappy. I'll look forward to your plan whenever, thank you. I have a miter saw and RAS that I am trying to bring together.
Finish this wall!!!
it is in the near future. I am doing the drawers next.
@@DarinBeard I really looking forward to the drawer video.
@@bwuest I was
, too. But I am getting ready to move and have to leave this shop behind and unfinished. Maybe I'll get to build one in the new shop...which I have not even picked out yet.
I will be building this in about a week, about how many full sheets did sketch up use to build it. I haven’t downloaded your file yet because I don’t have sketch up.
I don't remember exactly. I would have to dig out the sketchup model. I never got to build the drawers so for the cabinets and top it was like four sheets I think or something close to that.
I've been looking for a setup exactly like this, to incorporate a miter saw and a radial arm saw. So glad I ran across your video. Do you have any plans for it?
There is a SketchUp file icanmakethat.tv/freebies/miterstation.zip
@@DarinBeard Great! Thank you!
@@DarinBeard Not compatible with chrome or mac Like your vision for this combo
@@1windjammer2 I am assuming you mean chrome book? There is an online version of sketchup that should work on just about anything you want it to work on. But my vision was to share what I had for free to anyone that could use it. I hope you can find a way to get it to work for you and it is of use to you.
what is the pocket hole jig you use its not the kreg you link to
It's the harbor freight jig.
Can you put the material cut list & quantity here?
There is a link to the SketchUp file in the description. This project is from three years ago and I am not in the shop anymore. I don't have the cutlist anymore. It was also very specific to that shop.
when is part 2 of the miter saw radial arm saw being finished?
I moved so I never got to finish it
i look forward to you finishing it
Nice I’m about to start tackling my shop and this is one of the first pieces of shop furniture I wanna make, what are your plans for dust collection for this
I am building a Thien baffle for a shop vac and a 5 gallon bucket to fit under for now. I am planning a whole shop dust collection system here in the future but don't have it yet.
Let me know when you get yours up so I can check it out.
For sure I plan on recording the whole process of shop setup and making a series for my first post on my channel
Tried to download your plans but could not open the file. Could you send me something else. Thanks
They are a SketchUp file. That's the only format I have.
Where’s the Second vid?
Well, I ended up having to move so I never got to do the rest. I hope to build something similar in the new shop but it's not even on the list of things to do yet.
Have you made the 2nd video yet.
I am moving at the moment so that particular bench won't get finished by me. But I do have a plan to build a new one in the new shop.
What program do you use for your cut list?
It's called maxcut at maxcutsoftware.com
Did you not finish this yet?
No. I have moved so I am no longer in that shop. I am working on setting up the new shop so there will be a new one built soon.
Can I buy these plans?
You can have them for free. icanmakethat.tv/freebies/miterstation.zip
What brand of radial arm saw is that?
Powerkraft.
It is a Powr-Kraft sold by Montgomery Wards. This 10-inch model was built by the ToolKraft Corp. in Waterbury, CT for Wards. I have the same saw (got it from the original owner for free). It has a 20,000 RPM accessory shaft to drive router bits plus a second driveshaft the runs the same speed as the blade, 3450 RPM for sanding, buffing, grinding...You can see the two red output shaft plastic covers in the video on the right side of the motor around 4:45. These were build from the mid 1960s to the mid 1970s and offer most of the operating levers at the front of the machine: blade elevation, miter swing, table locks. Very nice saw and solidly built.
Can i get your phase 1 cut list information
There is a SketchUp file at icanmakethat.tv/freebies/miterstation.zip
Do you have plans for this build?
Kind of. I have a SketchUp file I did for it. It is specific to my shop but I can make that available for free if people want it.
Darin Beard would love to see it
Darin Beard Are you gonna upload it?
@@rv2705 sorry, I don't always get notifications on comments. I'll throw it up today and let you know here.
icanmakethat.tv/freebies/miterstation.zip is the sketchup file. Hope it helps.
Epileptic.
??
I mean, it works right? Pretty darn good for what you used, but holy cow is it ugly.
I did not think it was that ugly. But it did work for what I needed.
So you built the table then placed the radial arm saw on a level table..... well, the arm of your radial arm saw that holds the blade for cutting is not level to that table, your table should be level to the arm. think about it, with the table not level to the arm your blade travel is off (cross cut, uneven from front to back) and because not being able to adjust blade vertical to table, blade parallel to fence and blade parallel to table your cuts are not accurate and dangerous. Lots of burn marks on wood and kick-back when ripping. Level that table to the arm of the radial arm saw and calibrate the blade to the table. I see you only cross cut with the radial arm saw, is like having a girlfriend that will go all the way but, I only do cross cutting. With a blade not adjusted correctly it could become a bloody mess. be safe
I don't even have the saw anymore but it was level with the table top. There weren't any issues with that. Thanks.
I am in the process of building this. I had to realign the radial arm saw because you are no longer using the table attached directly to the base. I built the cabinet and leveled it, then added the sides for the Radial, and checked the level again, added a shelf for the Radial and made sure it was level. When I set the Radial on the shelf securing it with lag bolts there was slight tipping, so I inserted a washer between the base and the plywood shelf and that leveled it out. Installed the top and leveled it out, then realigned the radial with the table top to ensure it is perpendicular (without fence). Checked the blade path back to front and had to make a slight adjustment to zero it out. Once I have the fence complete I will recheck the Radial and align the fence with the blade before securing it. Since the table is almost 8 feet across any slight leveling issue becomes a major issue at the ends. So you have to keep checking the alignment as you build it.
