CONSTRUCTING WORK SUPPORT EXTENSIONS

One of the unique features of your miter saw is the ease with which you can construct work supports. Fig. 48, illus- trates the miter saw mounted to two standard 2 x 4’s (A). Fasten the grooves in the four mounting legs, two of which are shown at (B), to the 2 x 4’s using four screws through the four holes in the mounting legs. The length of the 2 x 4’s

(A)can vary depending on your preference. The distance from the top of the 2 x 4’s (A) to the compound miter saw table is 3-1/2 inches. This enables you to fasten standard 2 x 4’s (C) to the top of the 2 x 4’s (A), as shown. The top of the 2 x 4’s (C) will then be the same height as the miter saw table. This method allows you to provide support for long work-pieces using standard 2 x 4’s instead of constructing an expensive, complicated work support.
