This will sit flush with the top of the miter saw base. Next, it was time to build the frame for the table top. Sometimes my laziness will get the best of me and I won’t grab the drill to do this, but I always end up regretting it. Pre-drilling the holes saves you a ton of time, rather than fumbling around with the screws. I bought it a few years ago when I was building my oldest son’s dresser and I love it!įor the cabinet doors, I marked and predrilled the holes, then installed the euro hinges. By the way, the universal drawer slide jig from Rockler is pretty life changing. Or that my youngest won’t break them if he’s in the middle of a game of hide and seek. I highly doubt I’ll ever even come close to reaching the weight limit on these slides, but it’s good to know that I can. I used 22″ side mount drawer glides with a 100 lb capacity. Once the pull out shelves were built, I installed the drawer glides to the bench. I wanted the cabinets to have pull out shelves for easier access to my tools, and let’s face it, I really just didn’t want it to turn into a black hole where things get put away and they’re never seen again. I used 3″ swivel casters for the middle of the bench and 3″ locking swivel casters for the outside corners. Once the bottom frame was attached, I added the casters. I attached it to the bottom of the bench with 1 1/4″ wood screws and glue. To add a little more support to the bottom of the bench, I ripped down 3″ strips of plywood to build a frame. These will give the bench stability and prevent any movement once it’s completed. I then installed the rear stabilizing stretchers with glue and 1 1/4″ pocket screws. I used the rear stabilizing stretchers as blocks to help me determine the proper placement of the dividers and then glued and attached them in place with 1 1/4″ pocket screws. I drilled 3/4″ pocket holes into the ends of the bench and attached them to the top and bottom with wood glue and 1 1/4″ pocket screws. I cut my plywood pieces for the main carcass of the bench and began assembling it.

Also, don’t forget to download the printable plans, which include the materials list and cut list for this project. I’m teaming up with Rockler Woodworking and Hardware to share this project with you and I’ve also put together a YouTube video tutorial of the entire build, so be sure to check that out.
#Diy miter saw bench plans plus
I finally have a proper bench to hold my miter saw, plus tons of cabinet space for storing other tools, and also a fence with flip stops to help me make those multiple cuts so much easier and accurate. That was my life for the past 5 years, but not anymore. I finally upgraded my miter saw bench and built a DIY mobile miter saw bench for my shop! It’s a huge improvement over the makeshift tabletop I had sitting on sawhorses. Hey there, everyone! I’ve got a fresh set of building plans to share with you today.
