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.
