I had to do 600+ cuts today and had to use my chop saw on three trestle tables, wooden blocks and use a weighted plastic crate as a stop guide for repeatable cuts. I’ve been putting off making chop saw station because I wasn’t sure how to integrate the backstop. Your solution is perfect! I’ll be adapting this for my setup next week!! Thanks!
Very nice I absolutely love this concept! now that you have had it a while is there anything you would do differently? Do you have any footage of it after completed?
Very nice! I just got my saw last week. This design is exactly what I was contemplating. Perhaps you considered it, but I am going to try and transfer the holes over and make a one piece angle iron fence i/o welding the two together. KUDOS!!
Brilliant build! With the pivot point in the place where the bolt is, does that mean you can set a backstop to a certain length then Change the angle and get the same size cut? I’m thinking of doing this, on the evolution saw I know there are 3 fences positions do you use the middle one? I love watching people create their ideas and tweak aspects of it, think of how much more convenient the saw set up is when done what a time saver 👍
I like that idea, I have a older Evolution and my peev is mitering on these are a pain. Mine is now mounted on a Saunders fixture plate, which I have mixed feelings on. Could you do a review on your sander.I've had several and they're underpowered and slow for metal fabrication.Looks like a Grizzly? Wondered how you like it and would you buy again.
Been watching for years. Great to see you investing in tools, equipment, and infrastructure. You've always had good content and you're a natural at presenting it. Of course, having multiple professional skill sets helps lol. Hoping to see frequent vids to keep growing your channel. Looks like your serious about investing in a separate profit center in addition to the day job. Best of luck we're rooting for you.
Thanks Bud! I've been saving a for the last couple years and have more equipment to setup, but I also have a new house haha so time to work in the shop is limited! I would love to do a video each week, we'll see how it goes! Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it.
I was thinking about building one for the side of an inclosed trailer. Outside brackets so can be removed and stored inside for transport. Lots of highway traveling LOL ! Great video btw
I'm interested in getting a mag drill. I didn't see a link listed above, so I'm wondering what brand it is. I just bought the same Evolution saw and I love it. Very precise, but it sure is noisy. Great video.
Excellent! I'm going to be doing the same thing. I'm going to put my saw on a "lazy Susan" to spin it, and make it adjustable up and down as my work bench will have a wood miter saw on it too. I want them to all be level, but the metal saw has the lock piece that will get in the way so I have to lower it. I'm really eager to see the next video. Out of curiosity what gauge steel did you use?
I'm curious. You make an outstanding piece. You have the drum sander in your hand and you leave rust on one side of the piece of steel. Why not remove it and paint it?
Mine are dead on! I have 2, the older one and this new one and the straight up and down motion is dead on. For angles i use an anglr finder but the stock 45° is really accurate. I can tig them up no problem
Nice job bud, do you not use a bandsaw for cutting material? I also have a drop saw but want to get a bandsaw because it's not as loud and hopefully more precise for 45 etc...I been dipping alot of filler into my tungsten lately lolol🤦♂️
Hey dave! I did have a band saw but a chop saw, especially a metal blade chop saw, is way quicker! And just as precise if not more. But ya way louder! Haha dont worry! My day isnt complete if i havent sharpened my tungsten a dozen times haha
Turned out really good, quick question how do you store the cable that comes off your tig torch mines either coiled up on the work bench or all over the floor looking for a better way to store this thing, thanks Long time viewer and subscriber :)
@@5thStreetFab I did some research and you can actually buy retractable reels , like what you would use for your air hose or garden hose might be a bit bulky for my liking tho haha
I hear Quack Spackle is sponsoring product reviews. Slap some spackle in that Quack to keep the bugs out while you work, make some sponsor scratch on the side.

man that is some repetitive work! go for it bud!
Very nice I absolutely love this concept! now that you have had it a while is there anything you would do differently? Do you have any footage of it after completed?
The laser level would have come in handy for me when I built my wall mounted station. Excellent idea having it rotate for the angles, awesome work!
Thanks dude! It made setting up my kitchen cabinets a 1 person and 1 day job vs having buddies over for 2 or 3!

What's the details of the laser level, make, model, etc? Looks handy

Looks great! It's a lot of weight cantilevered off the wall though...especially under the window.
Awesome video! And on a side note, that’s a serious belt grinder!
Thanks! I saved up for quite a while for that one!
Love the stand you know I’m going to have to build a version for my next garage 👍
Such a great idea I'm totally stealing this thanks for the good content.
Go for it dude! I love it!
Nice to see your shop coming together. I own the same saw and really like your idea!
Thanks man! I love being able to actually move around my shop

I love my evolution saws! That sander is a beast! I ordered it in november and just got it 2 weeks ago haha. It was almost $1000 but man its awesome!

Excellent project including the video production. Thanks.

I dont have the link to it but its an evolution mag drill if you look it up! Its awesome!
@@5thStreetFab Thanks for the info.

That sounds awesome! It was mostly .065 and .095 whatever was lying around

@@hipairbrush1053 that piece took like 10 minutes for that side! Haha and it was mill scale so itll protect it from rusting
Great ideas! saves lots of time.
Dude nice! Looks rigid and convenient!
Ya man im definetly diggin it!
Fifth Street Fab nice to see the Workshop growing and Evolving Brother :)
Thanks man!
Nice build! You should check out the M1 Caliper for that fence
Ive been looking at those!
Nice build and video! Looks like your liking those tables! I’ve been wanting to get a couple! 👊
Ya man im diggin them!
How is straightness of the cut on the chop saw? I have heard mixed reviews of the cuts being 1/16” off.
Mine are dead on! I have 2, the older one and this new one and the straight up and down motion is dead on. For angles i use an anglr finder but the stock 45° is really accurate. I can tig them up no problem
Nice job, Max.
Thanks bud!
Sadly stud finders when operated by a stud tends to malfunction due to the enourmous force field created by said stud... ask me how i know ;)
Haha! Thats why i have yet to find one that works!!
We all have learned about studfinders the hard way......!!!!
No biggy
Cool project !!!
Nicely done....digging that mag base drill
Thanks! I love that mag drill
Hey Max, that's an awesome saw bench!
What is your mill scale remover? you used at 3.20 to clean up the plate.
Cheers Aaron
I thinkbits called a burnishing machine. I got it from amazon. Its great for giving your material a brushed look or cleaning off rust
Very nice way your setting things up and as always great work👍
Thanks bud!

Hehehe I don't believe it, I seen your inspirational welds my friend and I'm hanging to be half as good...keep up the great work mate

If you find a good way let me know! Haha i usually run it under my table so its not too much in the way.

Very nice!
yeah that’s bad ass. oh! thanks for all the welding tips! 👌🏾🍻
Thanks dude! And no problem!
Great idea
Dope! So how long did that all take? I really admire all your tools. Haha
It was about 10 hours. Probably 6 or 7 if i wouldnt have filmed it and used a mig the whole time
Roger
That’s awesome!
Nice 👍🏼
I always enjoy your videos man, great work!
