Miter Saw Cart / Precision Fence

[Burkhardt]

Since my "shop" is just a double garage, mainly for storing material, tools and machines I need to keep everything mobile to roll out into the driveway for work. That is kind of a problem for my miter saw where one would like to have it on a long table with measuring fences. As a compromise I built a sturdy cart and added telescoping slides to support the material to cut with fences that can be set better than 0.03" accuracy:

This is the basic cart made from 2x4 on 3.5" casters. I have made several of this kind for various equipment including the CNC. Cost near nothing and built within an hour (the cart only, the rest took a little longer...):


Added 20" full extension drawer slides with 100 lbs rating:
