In these clips you can see the system I used to install two extension tables. Link to the full video!

In these last shots from my latest video, you can see how easy it is to mount the plunge saw station on the workbench I made to use with this lifting table from @ruwi.de. I made some aluminum fences that can be extended to achieve longer cuts.

In order to fasten the accessories of my new plunge saw station, I built some hard wood dovetails. The original accessories for this fastening system are quite expensive and besides, I wanted to make them a little bigger so that they fit more tightly in the channel.

In this video summary you can see how fast it is to disassemble this plunge saw station to store it against a wall. I'm going to leave some parts mounted on the workbench. It will make it easier and faster to reconfigure the workbench to use it again with the plunge saw.

I just published the second video about my latest project, a scissor lift workbench that will also double as a sliding miter saw station which I can hang up on the wall of my workshop.

In this video summary you can see how I fastened the miter saw to its holder. I've used two threaded inserts and two tightening knobs. I have also made two wooden stops that will help me position it every time I need to remove it from its holder.

Re: Portable Miter Saw Station & Scissor Lift Workbench
In order to hang up the holder of my new miter saw station I used the system known as French cleat. I think it will hold the weight of the saw without issue. If I need to cut longer pieces, I only have to activate the lever to raise the @ruwi.de lifting table a little, and pull it toward the front.

I just published the third video about my latest project, a scissor lift workbench that will also double as a sliding miter saw station. In this new video I will show you how to use and build the aluminum fences and track stops for this project. These fences and stops will allow me to make more accurate cuts with the plunge saw, and also with the miter saw.
