The base of the miter saw station is a very simple torsion box. Torsion boxes are ways to make stiff platforms by skinning thin materials over a network of stronger ones. Cut the plywood sheet into a 32' x 8' panel and build a support structure of 2'x4's beneath it. A miter saw is a handy tool to have in the shop for cutting stock to length. And with the project you see here, you can turn your saw into a reliable and accurate go-to tool for making repeatable cuts. The saw mounts to a pull-out shelf that locks into position between wall-mounted cabinets. The fences are designed to flip up to create a solid platform for the workpiece. But the best part is.

Cut the parts for the miter saw station. After gathering all your materials, start by taking a few measurements of your saw. Measure the depth of the miter saw base, then measure the height of the fence. Once you have these measurements, you can rip down a sheet of plywood on the table saw, or you can use a circular saw to cut the parts.

But the best part is when you’re finished, the fences fold back into the cabinet for storage and the saw platform slides back against the wall. What you’re left with is additional worksurface and storage space. And there’s not a shop around that couldn’t use more of those.

Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.

I’m afraid I don’t have plans and can’t claim the design. Check out Jay Bates on YouTube. This is modeled after his design and modified for my needs.

I think I used 10-15 sheets total but that’s a rough guess. I’ll see if I still have the drawing and add the other page to my post if I still do.

Thanks so much for the kind words. It took me probably 3 months to get it mostly done as woodworking is just a hobby for me. But it is still somewhat of a work in progress. I used I think 10-15 sheets of ply which will make up the bulk of the cost. I found cheap drawer slides on eBay that work really well. And hinges and handles on amazon.
