Table miter saw with his own hands: the preparation of materials and tools assembly

To begin, let's understand what a miter saw, and why it is needed. It is worth noting that in the first place is an electric tool, designed to work with the lumber. Second, the main feature of this tool is the ability to precisely at a right angle to trim the ends of the wooden parts.

Of course, such a tool should be kept in a carpentry workshop, a large amount of work. How to make such a tool on their own, will be discussed in this article.

Preparation of materials and tools for the creation of the table for miter saws

After the decision to manufacture the desired instrument, you need to prepare everything you need to finish the job in a short time and do not clutter up the materials and tools workshop.

ATazhno remember! The high-quality materials, the tool will more reliably, and more high-quality wood to be cut on the workpiece.

charting

Before you start preparing to build a table for the miter saw with his own hands, it is necessary decide which functions should run this tool, and what additional features can useful. Thus, the device is made diagram detailing and its drawings. And only then drawn figures each detail.

And important see the big picture of the entire device and not just a picture of each node.

Assembling products

Assembly of the entire product is recommended to begin with a study of the drawings and all necessary parts for assembly. It is also necessary to check the presence of plumbing tools, without which it would be impossible to assemble the table. Important take into account the prioritization of each of the assembly units. Description of these components is provided below.

We begin production of the table for the miter saw to build a base or platform, which will be installed directly to the instrument itself. The dimensions of this plate is largely dependent on the size of the miter saw. And if we want to make such a universal that it was possible to establish other compatible instruments, such as the Mortising machine, the size is taken on the maximum size tool.

As the material is better to use a 19 mm plywood, the absence thereof can be used chipboard or MDF board of suitable dimensions, but more reliable plywood.

1. Installing the side extensions. Quite often used items of much greater length than the saw frame and for processing such parts are installed removable lateral expansion. And you can use those, both right and left of the frame. Extensions are usually made from the same material as the frame itself. Ie 19 mm plywood will suffice.
2. Upper shelf: an important detail of the table. In order to detail could freely be mounted on the expansion as well as for a more comfortable attachment to the frame of the extension, the top shelf must be done. They are fastened with screws as the frame, and expansion. Shelves are also usually made of 19 mm plywood. An important feature is the presence of the shelves along the entire length of the tongue parts 19 mm wide and 3 mm deep. His appointment will be explained later.
3. Application of the clamping plates. Clamping plates to most accurately and reliably align the machine frame and extending in width. To do this, it is best to use clamps that are tied to each other and expand the basis of the table. After such fixing extensions can be fixed to the table base.
4. Collaboration tools. When multiple machines work together, as mentioned previously, it is necessary to align their plane. If for example, you want to use in conjunction with the miter saw Mortising machine, then it must be installed so that the work planes of both machines match. So it will be necessary to align the height of the two machines. They are inserted into the dowels made in shelves installed on extensions.
5. Mobile stops are important too. Mobile stops intended to fix the parts with guide rails made of bars of solid wood. On the quality of their production is also largely depends on the quality of the trim parts.
6. How else can you use extensions? Extensions allow to fasten parts of sufficient length. In order to properly use them, you must reconfigure the table under such detail. Of course, it will take some time, but then it will pay for itself in the manufacture of a large number of long-dimensional parts.

So, to sum up: to make a table for miter plate is possible even in a home workshop. In this case, the result of the manufacture of parts in this table will be much better than on an ordinary bench.
