Adjustable Height for Miter Saw Station

[Dave Chrudimsky]

I've been searching through threads, and I can't seem to find a picture I'm sure I saw a while back. One creeker had a miter saw station with an adjustable height platform for a miter saw. I'm sure he had a close-up of the adjusting mechanism. Can anyone help me find this (or show me how you do the same thing?)

Thanks!

Yo Chrud,

These corner bracket or U-bracket leg levelers work well for this application. Build say a 1x4 frame with these things in the corner, put a top on it and drill 4 holes to access the leveler. A jam nut will lock it.

Gets your miter saw level and exactly flush with extension tables or wings.

Paul,

Thanks! I was hung up looking for the homebuilt option that I didn't even think to look up hardware. I'm feeling a bit silly right now.

If you don't have a local source of these and don't want to wait for mail-order, you can use a Tee-nut and a matching bolt.

For really first rate feet, go to an appliance repair outfit and they have feet with large hard rubber pads that used on washers, dryers, refrigerators, etc.

Thanks, Steve. I think that was the thread I couldn't fine.
