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
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.
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!
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
This is by far one of the coolest and most useful builds I have ever seen! Amazing!
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!
It is exactly what I needed! Don't have enough space for miter station. Thanks, John!
Perfect as usual!
Awesome, thanks for watching!!
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.
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?
@@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.
Extremely versatile, creative, and genius. Well done John.
Thanks man, really loving it!
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!
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!
Simple, clean, functional! I’m stealing this!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
I never expected a mobile setup to be this good!!!
It’s working out awesome!
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
Yea I need to pick one up too!
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!!!
Awesome man glad to hear!!
Pretty innovative and smart. Nice work and thank you for posting.
Took me a minute to find but this is perfect for my needs! Building this weekend and I know I'll love it
Awesome!
I love the dog holes on the wings. Great job!
They’ve been coming in really handy!
John excellent build and great idea. Thank you
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!!
Great idea! I especially love the dog holes
Thank you!!
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!!
I appreciate that thank you!!
@@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!!
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!
Seeing your work has made me realise I need to lift my game on the job site
All about efficiency!
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
Love the setup you done John portable mitre station couldn’t get any better than that good job bud👍
It’s working out awesome so far! Thanks man!
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
This is perfect
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 👍🏽
This is an amazing build, I am a first time viewer and you 100% earned a Sub for this Gem!
Thank you!!
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..
Dang that does sound like a good idea!
Exactly what I was looking for. Great Job!
Thanks for watching!
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
Would be great to set up outside and then just store inside if that’s something you’re able to do 👍🏽
Well done!!!!! I will be using your ideas here to make something for my DWS779
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!
Thanks man! Still using the Ridgid too
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 set up well thought out
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
Nice build John. Great video, great design for making portable and easy to carry.
Thanks for sharing.👍👍👍
Thanks man I appreciate it!
Super pimp love it
Excellent job mate 👏
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! 🤘🏼
Great build. Thank you for this instruction
Thanks for watching!
Incredible job and fantastic explanation!
Thank you!
Absolutely love this! Can’t wait for more
Thank you!!
Awesome idea & build!
This is genius!!! Thanks for the idea.
Thanks for watching!
That’s beautiful 🤩
This is the first video of yours I’ve watched.
Very enjoyable and efficient with your editing and videography.
Your skills are very natural and creative.
Looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you
I appreciate that thank you!!
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.
Nice 👍
Very nice..... definitely love the mitre saw wings .... my 1st time tuning into your channel... definitely be keeping my eyes on looking for more videos from you ... thank you
I appreciate it man thank you!
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.
It’s definitely way better now with the solid wings and legs. The arms on the Ridgid stand drove me crazy lol
Nice. I think I'll make mine a little deeper so I can carry my tracks in there as well.
Good idea!
Some really great ideas here!
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic! Thanks so much!
Thank you! 🙌🏼
YES YES YES! Dang John, Woot!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Nice job Brother 😎
Amazing detail, BZ
Thanks!!
That's the setup man.
Money making machine!
Exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for watching!
Just checked your channel. I already subscribed. Do you have a plan for what you just made I’ll buy that.
Just got them done, here you go! www.johnbuildsit.com/plans/p/miter-saw-wings-build-plans
Hand Clap, good job👍
Thank you!
Great job really enjoyed the video
Thank you!
Wow! What an excellent job, I just subscribed
I appreciate it!
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!
Thanks for the inspiration. I'm not a Milliwakee guy, but the ideas will work great with my 780.
Hard to beat a 780!
Could add one more thing 😁 Kizen Mitre Fence
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!
Awesome build. Would be neat to integrate a speed level into the wing(s)
I thought about it! but really they don’t need to be level, the whole setup just has to be flat
@@JohnBuildsIt that makes sense. There wouldn’t be an issue if the wings lined up with the miter saw table.
Great idea. 👍.
Thanks man!
Awesome
Very interesting!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love this! 100%
🙌🏼🙌🏼
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?
Stonking build 👍
very helpful 👍
Thanks for watching!
Yep, simple and exactly what I need. Didn't need to buy the plans as I can copy what your doing but I did buy one of your push sticks as it looks cooler than mine, and to show the appreciation for putting this video out there. -Thx
I appreciate it man!
Love this design, but please watch your hands around the table saw blade!
I’m very concerned for the safety of my own hands thanks!
Very nice John! Great ideas, presentation and explanation as usual. Have you had any issues with the legs not staying in the vertical position while in use? Or is there some type of stop to keep them in the upright position? Thanks for providing such great and useful content. Keep it coming.
No the wings are heavy enough, it’d take a pretty good kick to get the legs to move and fold out
What kind of glue did you use to secure the threaded inserts?
Either epoxy or ca glue
So you added the magnetic tape in the dado, and then put an adhesive backed steel tape measure in there? I can't find a steel tape measure that doesn't have an adhesive back....
Yep. Just leave the paper on it
Very nice setup
Thanks for the vid
I have this same saw but unfortunately I’m on my second one
There may be a flaw the blade brake from Milwaukee
Have you noticed anything weird with the brake not working
Others are also having this same issue
I haven’t yet. But yea some others have commented that
Also, do you find the wings to be stable enough using the metal stands you modified? On insider carpentry that was one of his complaints about his first go of wings. They would move around a lot. Just curious what your experience is.
No they’ve been great on mine. It probably helps a lot with the extension arms on this Ridgid stand
Great wings John! I have a question about the stop. I currently use the Fastcap Best Fence system for my DeWalt stand. I haven't found a better stop system yet simply because the sacrificial wood on the stop goes all the way to the blade. You can set the stop to make repeatable cuts as close to the blade as you need. Most stops on the market are limited to the end of the wings (several inches away from the blade). My question is will the Fastcap stop fit in a standard T track or is it proprietary? I suppose I could probably modify it without much trouble. My plan is to build very similar wings to yours but rather than using the Kreg stop I would use the FastCap stop for their flat fence and mount the T track on top rather than the rear of the wing. Very nice details on everything!
I’m not sure I don’t have experience with the FastCap
I verified today for anyone that might be wondering, the fastcap stops for their flat fence system does indeed work in a standard T track. I plan on using the fastcap stop on a set of wings I am going to build using your video for inspiration.
I have exactly the same thing for my saw works like a charm
I like the recessed tape measure 👌
Yessir, awesome! 🤙🏼
Great vid. Its been a year+, any changes before I hit some of your links???
Thanks
I haven’t changed anything about it, loving it 👍🏽
What are those legs you used on the wings?
Roller support stands
I dont understand how you can use the tape linked in the show notes because it is adhesive backed as is the magnetic tape, what am I missing?
It’s still a steel tape measure, just leave the paper on the back and it’ll still stick to the magnet 👍🏽
@@JohnBuildsIt thanks John, great video BTW
I literally have this exact setup. Do you have build plans for this? Would happily purchase them.
I’ll have to make some since quite a few have asked already!
@@JohnBuildsIt please do! It would also be very helpful to include links to purchase the accessories used in the project as well. 👌
@@prslespaul those are all already in the video description 👍🏽
Just got the plans done! www.johnbuildsit.com/plans/p/miter-saw-wings-build-plans
I Love!! Just for that i Subscribed.. and i will build Thanks John i have been deliberating a build with two pieces of aluminum extension ladders 6 or so feet with the same HF support legs, 1/4 to 1/2 ply on top, but i like your build alot better!!
I appreciate it man!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Now i know you watched @insider Carpentry - Spencer Lewis build his your not going to credit him for all but the bench dog holes?
All respect to Spencer, he has a great channel.. but he didn’t invent miter wings haha. I built to suit my wants, and I’m seeing lots of differences between the two setups.
Bench dog holes have existed for over 100 years. What the hell are youbon about?
Phenominal
You do know when you buy a new chop saw or compound miter saw you have to true it up. Never I mean ever will it be a true 90° or 45°, for gods sake they were just kids that made it. Be nice
Yes.. isn’t that common sense? Lol
NICE!
CONSIDERING THE MILWAUKEE 7 1/4 CORDLESS MITER SAW. WOULD YOU KNOW IF THAT SAW IS CAPABLE OF CUTTING PREFINISHED KITCHEN CABINET CROWN MOLDING NESTED PERFECTLY WITH NO TOUCHUPS? HAVE OTHER SAWS. LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT IS LIGHT AND TIGHT JUST FOR THIS PURPOSE.
GREAT WORK! Looks amazing and highly functional
Thanks I’m loving it!
Awesome
Thanks!!
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.
Thanks man! Really liking them!
Also wanted to add I got my first initial design ideas from Spencer with Inside Carpentry. You both do a great job. Thanks, Brian
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! 👍🏽
