Show me your miter saw fence - Worthing - 11-28-2015
Search didn't turn up much. What do you love about your fence? Hate about it? Got a picture? I need to build one as it's long overdue and while it seems like it should be simple, there are always a bajillion cool ideas out there that people have.

I published plans for a miter station in the May/June 2015 issue of WWJ.
My Miter Station
The fence is built into the cut shelf in the cabinets. If you do not need a portable miter saw set up, this one provides storage AND bench tops that do not interfere with using the saw.

Ralph that is about as good of an idea as I ever saw for a miter saw station. I have a love hate scenario with my miter saw. Love the saw hate the space it takes up. Looks like you have solved that problem. I may have to stoop over a bit to use your setup but that is a minor sacrifice IMHO. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us.

Kegler, thanks!
I am 6' tall, and have no issues having used the set up for a year now. That being said, the plans show the sides 2" higher than on my prototype. You can also cut the sides to whatever height would work for you.

Not a miter saw fence but an arm saw fence. The details might apply.
I used 2x2x1/8" aluminum angle from HD and applied a flexible PVC strip for the face. Sounds strange, but the PVC conforms to the angle and it works perfectly. A small dust rabbet where the face meets the table. Topped with the Kreg miter saw track hardware. The angled aluminum is secured to the table top with only 2, 1/4" bolts using T track. Again it seems minimal but it holds alignment without worry. I am not kind to it and slam stock against it.
See here:
The Kreg fixed stop is a pleasure to use. Solid!
Should have gotten you a pix of that.
Hope this helps.
