I feel like this system could be mass produced and would sell, It's really well thought out and would definitely be useful to so many people in the trade.
Good video. I want to build long lightweight wings with a minimal amount of material, and this is a fantastic solution. I don't need the same mobility in my workshop, so I'll fasten the wings directly to the shop stand that the miter saw will be bolted to. It'll be easy enough to break down if I need to relocate. Thanks!
Beautiful and I can't wait to make one. One thing I would consider is adding some t-nuts and Allen set screws to be able to fine tune the lip where the extension wings are attached to the saw. Put two t-nuts on the underside of the wing above the angle iron and use the set screws to raise the wing from the top side with an Allen wrench until perfectly mated to the saw. Then secure the wing with the. knobs to hold it in place. You should only have to do this once, but if you end up switching from 3/4 ply to 5/8 for your wings you can easily adjust for the difference. This would also eliminate the need to trim one edge of the aluminum angle and you could even use steel angle.
THIS is the solution I've been looking for! Bravo brother. Saved me a lot of money from not having to purchase the uber-expensive Best Fence Pro or build a complicated cabinet-based mobile miter saw station. Job site ready and mobile! I love this.
I made one similar about 2 years ago and put out a video as well. I use the DWX726 rolling miter stand with a Dewalt Miter saw. On my saw end I just slip the extension wings over the T-bar on the stand, then lock down the knob underneath. Since I made mine I added the T-tracks for my crown stop too. I made my crown stop so you could still see the angle scale on the saw. I like your addition of the dog holes and the T-track along the back for the stop. If I ever make another set I will use your idea of making the main table out of maple. I used pre-finished 3/4 birch plywood but it has peeled up in one spot where I caught it with a tool. I also like the heavy earth magnets you used for keeping the legs up during transport. Great job and high quality video.
Thanks man! Yea I ended up drilling some holes around all the main saw degree detents so I could see them better. That’s the only thing I’ve changed so far, it’s been working out great
You should market this well-made product. Make it adaptable to the most popular mitre saws. Many would find this product VERY USEFUL! I would love to buy one!
I picked up the Rousseau dust hood for my 12" slider. Game changer for keeping the shop clean. I too keep my saw on a mobile cart so for me it was a necessary expense even though it's expensive
This is amazing! One thing I’d add is a bubble level on each removable extension. Also to make them even more reliable as work/assembly table, you could add on the underside some glued cross beams and close the bottom to turn them into torsion boxes. It shouldn’t be a problem to move the legs and other jig holding features onto the bottom panel. The torsion box height could be less than the current side walls or you could make those walls taller such that the attached accessories on the underside can still technically be recessed and not get in the way of the dowel connection. This would add significant weight but would make them much more reliable!
There’s no way to level this saw stand itself. It doesn’t need to be level, just flat across. I’ve had beefier wings before but I like this leaner set here much more. I don’t need it to be a heavy duty workbench so this is perfect for what I’m wanting. Good ideas though!
@@JohnBuildsIt I don’t do onsite contractor work, but I can modify this for a new combined miter saw station and torsion box workbench I will build in my small shop at home. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks, John! I've been procrastinating building wings for my miter saw for some time. I've purchased your plans to give me the kick in the butt that I needed!
Very nice work - and I've got to say, 'well thought out'. As a weekend wood warrior, I've been thinking of setting up a mitre saw station and this has me itching to copy it.
Here an idea for your knob and bits.. Get a small pouch bag and pin it to the side or under the table.. Great for keeping things with a machine if you take them on job site
I’m loving this idea! I’m gonna get the Harbor freight Hercules stand seams to be very rugged I haven’t been happy ever with my dewalt stand so time for a switch
This is AWESOME! I have a similar mobile stand for my Miter Saw and have never liked the extension arms as there is always too much play in the leveling of the ends and more importantly with the "stop" feature on the ends. I have been wanting to come up with something like this since I got my stand and you covered all the bases! I especially like the compactness and how you added the storage details down to even having a magnet hold the knobs when stored away. I will definitely use the magnetic tape measure trick on some of my other jigs. I hate using the pun but "you hit the nail on the head" for me on this one!!!
Well thought out design and I think you use your mitre station very similarly to the way I do. I will be using this as a model for my festool kapex on possibly a dewalt stand. Great job …thanks
Wow, that’s chock full of good ideas (like the crown stop). I think this will eliminate my hesitation over committing shop space to a full-size miter station. Looks like an incredible deal for $5 plans!
Thanks John, Hope you make some coin from your links. Got most of my stuff there and from the other guy with a similar thing. I just made this for a dewalt 780. Minor changes. Trying to get that weight down. Built this mainly for the crown stop. This stand is awesome! Works great and I haven't cut crown on the flat in a while. I was never really able to adjust for ceiling height above cabinet doors before this jig. Now its like breathing...Framers gave me a ceiling one inch out of level again? Can't tell.
Awesome build man. Nice cross between Spencer at insider carpentry and Ron Paulks design with the holes. I like the idea for attaching the roller stands for support. I just built myself a similar set last week, I went with 1/2" ply as this was mainly my prototype, to use on site for a a while.
Nice build John! You may want to stay with the Ridgid miter saw stand. I sold a "fancy" Bosch stand to "upgrade" to the Ridgid stand. Larger wheels 👍 What I also needed is extension platform surfaces, not a material support "point" 😕 We both have this and I'm sure you will never go back. I did mine with no fastening to the mitersaw itself (no screws or knob) or stand, and no support leg, yet with my 5' or 8' wings and material on it, I have no deflection. I read some other praises below and I don't get the fascination with bubble level vials installed. It's all about being in plane with the saw 🤔 Great build!
Sweet setup! I always thought that using a pair of butt hinges would be a great method for the wing attachment. Securing 1 leaf to the base of the saw and the mating leaf to the wing itself. Insert pin to assemble and remove it to break it down..
This is such an awesome idea! I've built miter saw stations an set them up on saw horses previously but had it get stolen out of the truck at a truck stop. After that I went to the Ridgid stand you've got here and just used it has is. Definitely going to have to make this for my set up! If you find a better rolling stand I would love to hear about it the Ridgid seems to be the best out there atm has far has size and weight.
This is one of the best builds, description of the build, filming of the build and overall concept of the build that I’ve seen on TH-cam in years. I instantly subscribed and trust me I rarely if ever subscribe. Kudos for your excellence and craftsmanship!!
@@JohnBuildsIt It’s rare that I encounter someone who actually view their profession as a carpenter as a highly skilled artisan!! You should be commended to your excellence and ability to communicate at such a high level!! I’m excited that I subbed ur channel and as a 58 year old carpenter who is very up and aware of the latest advances, tools and techniques, I’m anticipating enjoying ur content and learning from it as well!!! Keep up ur excellence brother!!
Looks incredible! Only thing I might add is a bubble level embedded in the side of the wing near where the leg adjustment is so you can quickly set everything perfectly level.
@@globyois depends... if the saw itself can't be leveled as John suggests with his stand, then you're right there'd be no point in leveling the wings. Ideally you'd be able to level the saw to the ground, then level the wings to match.
I really appreciate the time it took to make this! Good timing too, I’ve got a lot of trim work coming up and I think I’ll have to make myself a set of wings this weekend.
Great build and features. It would be cool if you could do another follow up after using it for a while to see how it's working and holding up to daily use. I would be a little nervous about the exposed t-track and stop getting banged around and damaged with daily use. I still want it though!
My dude!! This is AMAZING. Love all the features and little things about this mobile miter saw 😍. BEST one out there for sure. My shop (currently a bedroom in our small house) is too small to add a mobile miter saw BUT I definitely want to somehow incorporate one now lmao 🤣. Thanks for sharing
![[MV] A leap of faith...ความเชื่อใจครั้งสุดท้าย (From "Petrichor the series")](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/U1piZH2CNXA/mqdefault.jpg)
Went ahead and made some full build plans since a lot were asking. www.johnbuildsit.com/plans/p/miter-saw-wings-build-plans
Thanks for the support!!
Thank you.
You #John Builds it...are a rock star! You could totally sell those...#Bob Villa would be proud...just saying
I feel like this system could be mass produced and would sell, It's really well thought out and would definitely be useful to so many people in the trade.
I would definitely buy it thats for sure. 👍
Couldn't agree more!! Amazing Idea and Execution!
This is basically what I needed to see. I like my mobile base for mobility and don't have a shop large enough for a dedicated permanent station.
Man, that what you you did there for your insane quality Miter saw was a piece of art of work. So clean, simple, elegant, modern, and more. Wow 👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for watching! 👍🏽
Also wanted to add I got my first initial design ideas from Spencer with Inside Carpentry. You both do a great job. Thanks, Brian

Great execution. I've just started brain storming ideas for my own wings for my Ridgid MSV and now I have some really great ideas
Thanks for watching!
Love it. I will probably make something like this. I might try to modify the roller legs to be able to hinge for uneven ground.

It is exactly what I needed! Don't have enough space for miter station. Thanks, John!
Perfect as usual!
Awesome, thanks for watching!!
Dude! Brilliantly executed! I love the modification of the roller legs, and the way you made it compact for transport. 👌👌
I appreciate it! I’ve had some in the past that were just way too big and heavy haha really like this slim design with more features
Very nice work - and I've got to say, 'well thought out'.
As a weekend wood warrior, I've been thinking of setting up a mitre saw station and this has me itching to copy it.
Yep definitely would be great for people to just set up and work out of their garage! Stores away easy and compact
Here an idea for your knob and bits.. Get a small pouch bag and pin it to the side or under the table.. Great for keeping things with a machine if you take them on job site
The magnets working great 👍🏽
The best video on mitre saw wings on TH-cam!!!!

Great design. Thoughtfully created and laid out.
I like the idea that you designed the wings to attach to the saw. If you change the stand, the wings still work no matter what. Nice work.
Thanks I appreciate it!
Wow, that’s chock full of good ideas (like the crown stop). I think this will eliminate my hesitation over committing shop space to a full-size miter station. Looks like an incredible deal for $5 plans!
Thank you!!
The moulding attachment is a great idea!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Extremely versatile, creative, and genius. Well done John.
Thanks man, really loving it!
Wow this was a great idea, not have a permanent space to set up this was ideal. thank you for this build.
Awesome glad it helped!
Took me a minute to find but this is perfect for my needs! Building this weekend and I know I'll love it
Awesome!
Outstanding. A few times during viewing I said "ok he's going a bit overboard" only to say "Ahhh yes that's nice, perfect, keep going".
Haha thank you!
EXCELLENT! OUTSTANDING Idea. I’m already putting my plans together for my saws. 👍🏼
Upgrade: built-in level bubble, routed groove to insert a lineman's string bubble. Put one on each side to help level the legs faster.
There’s no way to level this saw stand itself. Doesn’t have to be level, just flat
I have the same miter saw stand and all I can say is Wow!!! Great job!
Thanks man!
I'm a retired chippy here in Australia even though we do not use crown moldings here that is a great setup.
That’s interesting, didn’t know that!
Well done!!!!! I will be using your ideas here to make something for my DWS779
Thanks John,

Nice work . I will build me one tomorrow. Totally awesome. Much appreciated
Awesome man thanks for watching!
Looks super handy!
Sure is!!
perfect! I was trying to figure out how to make wings for my miter saw. stumbled on your site by chance. love it and you just got another subscriber.
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice. I think I'll make mine a little deeper so I can carry my tracks in there as well.
Good idea!
absolutely awesome 100% I am now strongly considering doing exactly what you have done here. Amazing!
Awesome glad it helped!
Nice set up well thought out
Awesome job!
Excellent job mate 👏

Thanks for sharing.👍👍👍

There’s no way to level this saw stand itself. They don’t all need to be level, just flat all across
Problem with the bubble level is the ground your saw will rest upon. If IT’S not perfectly level, your bubble will be useless.
Or am I mistaken?

This is awesome! What about some sort of recessed bubble level for the wings to ensure they're level when on site?
Thought about it but there’s no way to level the miter stand itself, easily. It just all has to be flat and in line anyways, not level
@@JohnBuildsIt very true. Good point! Great videos though!
I really appreciate the time it took to make this! Good timing too, I’ve got a lot of trim work coming up and I think I’ll have to make myself a set of wings this weekend.

Very slick sir!
Dang!that turned out great!
Thanks man👊🏼
That’s beautiful 🤩
You have a lot of really good ideas in your build. Just what I was looking for. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
THE best stand I've ever seen. Very clever and slick design. How much does it weight? 45 pounds or so?
Yea somewhere around there probably! Not too bad at all
truly incredible. well done.
Thank you!
Great build and features. It would be cool if you could do another follow up after using it for a while to see how it's working and holding up to daily use. I would be a little nervous about the exposed t-track and stop getting banged around and damaged with daily use.
I still want it though!
So far so good. Haven’t come across anything id change or do different. Soo much better than my previous set ups
YES YES YES! Dang John, Woot!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Would be great to set up outside and then just store inside if that’s something you’re able to do 👍🏽
Nice mitre saw wings! Where did you get the adjustable magnetic tape from? Thanks
Looks great
Incredible job and fantastic explanation!

Thank you!!
That's the setup man.
Money making machine!
Great build! This is similar to what I want to do. Can you please tell me exactly how much the two wings weigh when nested together?
great build! love the no fence idea keeps the weight down and gives you a worksurface. I am now a new sub!
I appreciate it! 🤘🏼
Fantastic! Thanks so much!
Thank you! 🙌🏼
Awesome build!
Thank you!
Tightest! 😁
