All
This is what I have been doing for the past few days. I mounted my recently acquired used chop saw and used miter fence to a 2 x 10. http://www.lanestrains.com/Chop_Saw.jpg There is 7 feet clear on the miter fence alone. The guide stop will make for very accurate repetitive cuts. I did know the miter fence even existed until seeing it on Craigslist. This is now 1 lean mean benchwork making machine. I just have to sneak out into the garage early in the morning before it gets too hot to cut the dados on the table saw. I attached a shop vac to it. With it running there is virtually no loose sawdust. Since I am in the basement it is air conditioned! I have to say this may be the sweetest chop saw set up I have ever seen. Total investment including the new vac today was about $150.00. The miter fence new goes for $250.00! The only down side is it weighs a ton! I mounted it on a 7' x 7' temporary work table I made to assemble my straight and corner frames. There will be sawdust and new frames made soon!
