New DeWalt 12" Belt Drive Compound Miter Saw & 'Old School' Jobsite Stand

Having worked on just about every miter saw stand there is, I was always finding them
lacking what the old school miter saw boxes had....storage space and a place to put
everything you need to use with the miter saw.

I decided it was time to sell the portable stand I had and build my own. I used 1 sheet of 3/4" sanded
pine ply and three 2x4x92.5 studs. The fences are Redwood I had in the shop. The stand fits on my
sawhorses and has provisions for a threaded rod attachment to the sawhorses for stability. The saw itself
bolts to the table with four 3/8x4" bolts, washers and nuts.

I bought a 16" tool bag for the miter saw accessories I always use...stop blocks, clamps, angle finder,
pencils, threaded rods, etc. Tomorrow [December 1st], the new setup gets it's maiden run at the jobsite. I
finished it with linseed oil and Helmsman Spar Urethane to protect it from the elements, at least
for a little while. I used the DeWalt during the construction of the stand...I am very impressed
with it's performance!
