Space-Saving Support for a Miter Saw

Feb 10, 2016

I wanted a dedicated support for long boards on my miter saw, but also needed it to move out of the way when not in use. This sturdy folding support meets those needs very well. It is made of two parts: a small box that is screwed to the wall and a support arm that pivots around a 1⁄2-in. dia. steel rod. The box has an adjustment bolt on top that lets me finetune the height of the arm so workpieces lie flat on the saw. The arm is laminated from three pieces of plywood for strength and stability.
