WORKSTATION<br />
'When cutting a long board on a miter saw, it r-r-rust be<br />
secured in place to keep it from Lifting off the saw and<br />
causing a potentially dangerous siruadon. Workberrclt retder<br />
Dennis Sarriano of Center Moriches. NewYor-k. solved this<br />
problern with the miter saw wor-kstation shown at left. It<br />
provides sllpport for long boards, ph,rs it has rwo holddowns<br />
that secure the board during and after the cut.The<br />
hold-downs can be adjusted for different stock thicknesses<br />
by sliding thern up and down a rnetal bar (lrtsct Pltorc,lcft).<br />
Though itt designed for r-rse with a rrriter saw this versadle<br />
workstation isn't necessarily tool-specific. Iti equally<br />
capable of supporfine rnd securing r'vide stock during circular<br />
saw operations as well (P/roto, lou,cr lcft).<br />
In use, the nriter saw rests on rw'o long rails.Attached<br />
to these rails are four stock supports.Tl.re nvo nriddle supports<br />
are slotted to hold aluminunr bars. l)ir-ectly above the<br />
rniddle sllpports, the rvvo l-rold-downs :rrc llso slotted to<br />
siide up and down on these bars.Wing nuts "lock" tl.re<br />
hold-downs in position.<br />
Sizing Considerations -<br />
The nriter saw workst.rtiou<br />
shown here is sized to fit a Makiur I0" nritel sawYou'll probably<br />
need to chanqe sonre of the din'rension show:r on p4gc<br />
30 to fit yollr particulrr saw (-scc Si.-irg Corr-sirlcrctiorts).<br />
'With that in nrind, ther-e irrc t}l-ee thing to take into<br />
account. First, the r-ails need to be spaccd to acconulod:rte<br />
the sawt mounting holes.The distance berlveen the outside<br />
edges of the rrils detemrines the length of the sr.rpporus<br />
and hold-downs. Second, tl.re width of the sr-rpports l.r:rs to<br />
n.ratch the height of the saw bed.A'nc'l tlird, thc rnicldlc sr"rppol'ts<br />
nlllst be spaced to allor'v clearance for the slw<br />
