miter saw station

[Steven Lee]

I put this together using the Kreg Top Trak kit. Whats showing is a 6 ft section. I have another 2 ft section under way. Of course everything is put together with pocket holes. 

The kit came with plans but I deviated some and added the storage bins to it. Adding the dividers of course used up a bunch more screws. The bins are made of 1/4" ply so are not pocket holed. Using 1/2" material in such a small space woulda taken away too much storage.

The red on the counter top is 2 rows of t track that lets me lock the miter station and the support down. It also lets me unlock and slide everything out of the way. I plan on also making stations for the kreg jig, work sharp etc to take advantage of the track.

yeah, the rulers will be setup so that the 6ft section is on the right and the 2 ft section is on the left but they will be interchangeable. They will also be able to connect to form an 8 ft section.

Looks really good, Steven!

Is the 2 ft section for the left side?

Looks good.
Have any of you out there built the mitersaw station that is in the June edition of Woodworkers Journal? If so please post any comments about it. I am in the process of building it now. I just received Kreg's kit for it.
Thanks for your opinios.

Kapex was an awesome craigslist score. I am too embarassed to list what I paid for it. I am definitely hooked on Festool tho, I started with the TS55 and CT22 combo.
