One ( 1080x700mm) board on the left and other ( 1780x700mm) on the right of the gap. The bench top is made up of 3 components (Squared boards) of which two will be fixed to the bench using store-bought galvanized 90 corner brackets. It is important to ensure the components that make up the frame are properly fixed together or it will compromise the integrity of the completed miter saw station. To save time, the frame is assembled using coach screws/lag bolts (refer to video). The far right of the bench can be assembled in the same way as the far left if there is no wall available to fix the counter. The miter saw table in the image is also fixed to the wall on the far right side but this, however, is not a must. The bench is assembled as a counter with the back fixed to a wall. My saw is just over 500mm wide so I built the gap at 600mm. The assembly of the frame is fairly straightforward with the only noteworthy aspects being the width of the space in the center that is intended to accommodate the miter saw. Note that any of these dimensions can be adjusted to better suit the space available while keeping in mind that the height of the bench has to be able to accommodate your saws length (back to front) as this will be that space it takes up when it is folded down to a vertical position. Keep in mind that not all miter saws share the same dimensions and therefore certain measurements may vary as to accommodate the saw that will be used with the bench.

The idea behind this bench was to free up the spaceВ being selfishlyВ occupied by the miter saw when it not being used, but more importantly, being able to unpack and pack away the saw quicklyВ with minimum effort. Fold-away miter saw workbenchД¬onsidering a simple way to pack away a miter saw after use to free up counter space for other functions is what lead to the birth of the DIY fold-away miter saw stand. Also, in the case of a sliding miter saw, the saw requires a certain amount of wall clearance as to accommodate the sliding mechanism. The reason for this is the amount of space required on either side of the saw to accommodate the stock that will fall victim to the sawвЂ™s wrath. Miter saws may not in themselves be the largest power tool found in a woodworking hobbyistвЂ™s workshop but it is definitely one of the power tools that require the most space to operate.
