Chop saw storage
Nov 22^nd, 2010 at 7:08am

Just about the last item with the new shop. Continued to struggle with the chop saw. Tripping over it and I just don't have the space for a dedicated stand. I seriously considered building a new base for the table saw, large enough that I could store the cop saw inside. I finally ended up here.

I fab'ed a plywood base and hood to contain some of the sawdust and allow attachment of the vac hose. Then I mounted a ~3x3 to the table saw and I hang the chopsaw from bicycle hooks. The chop saw gets moved to the top of the table saw for use. Hopefully, this is a workable solution.

I have a similar variation on this idea. A couple of years ago, I saw this tip for a ladder based miter saw station:

Since storage at my house is super critical, (see my 'Turning al fresco' post) I just added a simple cleat to the wall to match the cleat on the miter saw base.

Hey that's my saw!!! Or it will be just like my saw tomorrow!

I work in my garage and have my band saw, table top saw and radius arm saw on casters, the chop has been taking up room I could put to a better use. Apparently one can never have too many saws, lol besides hand saws I also have a portable jig saw, 3 circular saws (two plug in, one battery) and a scroll saw plus other electrical devices that make wood become dust.
