Mitre saw clamp

[Lee Roberts]

I started out to make two, and bought 2off machine feet but when I got home I looked at the outfeed (RH) side and the motor would get in the way. Some of the more expensive / fancy mitre saws have the motor tucked away at the back so you fit two similar clamps.

Yeah mine is the same, it's a Hitachi, it's really quite a nice machine, well made and reasonably light, I got it cheap at £70 on eBay, the guy had used it for his home renovations, skirting boards, architrave all the small bits, so it was in really good condition and only about 12 months old at the time, they go for £250 ish so I got a deal for sure I think.

Here is a link to the same model: http://www.toolstop.co.uk/index.php?...t_id=7398&l=uk

It's actually the 110v version so I've got it hooked up to a "tranny", being 110 it's that bit quieter in operation, less power obviously because of that but it dose everything I need to do, went through 4x4 post no problem at all.

I hope to build permanent extensions for it once I get the workshop finished on the inside, that makes so much difference trying to cut long lengths accurately, I'm just using free standing roller type things at the moment but they tend to fall over.

If I only could find your video a bit earlier! My husband is in love with work with wood, so I tried to find a great new tool for him and make it a present for BD. If I found your video, I just could not to spend my money and make my husband to create a new toy by himself XD But it's ok, thanks to https://allaboutsaws.com/best-miter-saw I could understand which saw is better and to make the best present in my husband's life. I hope so)

Nicely done.

I had to make myself a new arm after overtightening the OE (Makita - )







Ah well, a nice afternoon project, original parts used where possible... (The stubby one was machined at the wrong dimensions - somehow I managed to screw up the saved vector and didn't bother checking sizes before cutting - luckily had two pieces of ideally sized scrap lying about...)

Wow. Forgot all about making the short video in post 1. Funny thing is all the comments I made about improvements to a stop gap part - it's still exactly the same all these years later.

Wal nice job there. Really satisfying to make your own custom parts. Sketch it in the morning, be using it in the afternoon!

ChristopherWebb - can't decide if your post is the latest sneaky marketing method or a genuine post. If it is genuine I apologise and hope he is happy with his new toy.
