One thing you mentioned in the video about fitting to different miter saw height, I would make 2 or 3 plywood "caps" fitting on top of the supporting legs. Then the end user can just cut those pieces to fit each miter saw they have.
on the extension you are adding a plywood to support it and doubles for the height. You can add slots of different lengths going up an down then in those insert another small plywood that would give you the height for the material being used. If you need it higher or lower you just move it to a different slot. Or the buyer can make the slots to fit their miter saw. If they change miters just move the plywood over to another slot or if none correspond the buyer can make a new one just for them. The good thing about this is that you can swap miter saws with very little difficulty.
I just got this system after watching this video. I bought separate section to make a T configuration. I wish the cross connectors have the 2X4 slot so if I was on T configuration and I want to use the 2X4 sideways so I don’t cut the sawhorse I could only use 1- 2X4 because the connector running T ways would be in the way of the other 2X4. I really like the product, I do interior renovations and I need something light and portable that can provide me with a big table set up. Like it!!
simple and clean no need to change. Only downside is uneven ground when setting up the outriggers, maybe adjustable slide on the outrigger tops so you can level them on any ground? otherwise mint.
I move around a lot. Sometimes 4 different jobs a day in the DC metro area. I’ve struggled with my miter station set up. It’s heavy, and it’s a pain in the ass. All of my co-workers cut miters on the ground. To hell with that! I’m from Maine. We aren’t taught to cut and rip on the our hands and knees. I think I need to pull the trigger on this setup. You all are killing me with reviews. I keep buying based off you guys.
kookiemoose you need to check out the new cordless 7 1/4 inch miter saw from Milwaukee I'll have a review all done in about a week, it's like 25 pounds or something like that. They have a pretty lightweight made her stand for it as well. They answered all of this is to find something that works with how you work!
A Concord Carpenter / ToolBoxBuzz look forward to the review for sure. A 7 1/4” very interesting. Currently using the dewalt 12” dual flexvolt. All these DC residents love their big fat crown lol.
Suggestion from Australia (don't know if you ship here). I think it would be good to have a hole near a front edge so folks can mount their routers underneath with simple bearing bits. We could then drill the mounting holes based on our own routers. Great for simple trim on the job site and brings it closer to the total station.
I would like to see a torsion box add on. Make it slide into the supports to give you a perfectly flat surface, even if the ground you work on isn't flat. I think some cross members between the sawhorses with notches pre-cut in them for clamps would be really handy also.
I see this working well on a flat surface. Make the outrigger support bottoms adjustable. If you end up replacing a miter saw, you can either screw on a screw piece of plywood to make up the difference, or also make the material support tops also adjustable. Two vertical slots with thumb screws to adjust the height.
This looks like a great product, and very interested in trying it out. I think one improvement would be integrating a clamping solution when using it as a cut/assembly station. Possibly a perforated top for dogs and/or notches/holes in the frame pieces for easily integrating clamps into the set up. I also see using this with a track saw, maybe an integrated solution for hanging a track, so you dont have to set expensive tracks on the ground where they can more easily get damaged
I love this design! I'm thinking using the triangular opening on the legs is a perfect spot for cross beams and a bottom shelf. Probably a pretty obvious idea, but a useful and functional one at that. Awesome product! Awesome channel! Thank you!
I really like these. I would like to see a set that could handle wide pieces like 4X8 Sliding Glass Doors, and wide panel 3/8ths inch thick shower partitions. If it can accommodate heavier goods that are wide, it may help a few of us out.
A drop in shelf that sits between 2 saw horses. Can be used to house tools under a plywood table or be used to rig up a table saw to match the height of the horses
I love the idea! I think the modular and flexible design is fantastic and branding is great for a professional appearance! Only thing I would like is the ability for screw-in leg levelers for uneven jobsites.
So because the outrigger height is fixed this setup only works on perfectly flat areas... If you are interested in a great configurable workbench/mitersaw station please look into Paulk Benches.
I’d make the support wings for the miter saw 2 pieces. 1 base piece and 1 top piece that has a slot or 2 in it. So it can slide up and down along the base piece. And have hand screws that you can tighten to lock it in place.
I could see a whole line of these for a mobile workshop. Different heights for table saws, bench top planers and even using these for a router table where you can just set the top on the horses. They would also be a great solution for a guy like me who has to put all of my tools away to park the car in the garage
I want some ways to keep all the pieces together and move the whole system at one time. Maybe something as simple as a strap? I have the 6' dewalt stand and instead of mounting my saw to the brackets I put a 2'x4' piece of plywood on the brackets. This gives me a spot to set small tools, cut lists, parts and other things. I just set the mitersaw on top of the plywood.
Great and simple, as are all good ideas. I agree with some of the comments that its and easy copy, but in all honesty, if its priced correctly I would purchase it rather than spending time building it. I just don't have the time! One useful addition would be adding some smaller shelves and or bins to hold the tools I use most (And mislay most) pencils, tape measure, speed squares etc. Having those handy always helps, I know there's always space right next to the saw but with small cuts and materials they are often hidden. I also like to store my 2x's or trim off the floor, having the ability to store several just below the table at a convenient height off the floor really improves efficiency. Also agree with a few comments, the addition of adjustable outriggers and feet would be really helpful on uneven ground. This system as it is would be great indoors, but not so much outside. All in all a great looking, easy to set-up, light and small. Love the idea of having my logo attached. Can you get these in Canada? Bob...
Looks amazing. The only thing i could see improving would be to make the legs and or outriggers adjustable. A few small nuts and carriage bolts with a slot to make them adjustable. Or.... instead of a slot, just a few holes set in a carefully calculated pattern to provide incremental adjustments. I think most carpenters are savvy enough to modify for varying height saws such as... cut the outriggers to the highest deck of one saw and add shims or spacers as needed to raise the deck of the lower saws.
Make the saw horse legs and side extensions partially drilled like peg board and you could pretty much make any type of adjustment attachment or hanging section you could want! Cord wraps tool hooks you name it!
If using them for a miter saw stand, some simple plywood brackets that lock into the slots on the sides of the horses that can hold sticks of trim could be useful.
Toggle clamps to quickly fasten the saw or toggle clamps on the sides be a fast way to hold pieces upright also height adjustable sides alot of times we set up outside where nothins flat
How about adjustable outriggers/work supports? I get that there’s no hardware on this unit which is good, but a couple of wing nuts would allow adjustability.
A square bench design. Could use 2 of the same cross sections and 2 wider ends to make a low bench or a square work station. It would allow for slipping in router table jigs or even a table saw jib since it'd bee sturdier
I'd like to see a way to carry all the components at once and maybe add some wood I-beam style construction to some pieces though, doing so would probably increase the disassembled stack size. To solve the uneven ground problem, you could make a 3 legged version. For addressing different mitersaws, why not design it for the tallest mitersaw and then just put an additional sheet of 1/4" or 1/2" plywood under the squattier saws to bring them up to the same height?
At 2:56 in the video the sliding material supports make a good alternative to flippable outrigger supports. Have the outrigger supports be one height and the sliding material supports be flippable with two heights. In my opinion that would be a win,win,win. two more work heights and no need for more rubber feet.
Custom colors , add hinges so that it could be folded into a smaller form so that it could sold together in a bag or a carrier . To make it more lightweight , add triangular holes to some of the larger , longer pieces . For taller person like me , add spacer pieces for the equipment . For the Elite version , do it with carbon fibre !
Why not have screw type adjustable feet for the extension legs, better yet a quick lock system with more range for uneven ground. This could even be an optional accessory that the extension leg attaches to.
It's good that they have a option for tall carpenters, but what about us short guys? I typically use sawpony ( that is what other guys on the crew call them) . I make them 26" tall so that I can reach across a 4'×8 sheet of plywood.
Looks like their website is gone. They have a Facebook page now as their site but it's not active. I'd just like to buy plans to build my own. Does anyone know if they offer that?
Make a handle that will slide through each piece and hold them together, so they can be carried as one maybe two pieces, also keep them organized. Make a common hole at an even height to slide the handle through so the parts that touch the floor will be even.
They should put a bolt, knob and a separate piece of plywood with a slot for adjustments on the out riggers so you can adjust between 2 different saws or if the ground isn't perfectly level.
IDEA: drill into the side of the end grain of the A style table supperts to accept a 3/8th or 1/2" dowel and include the dowels to provide an optional place to hang tools
What if you could make it to where you can add 2x4s to make a top instead of carrying plywood with you too? I carry 2x4s with me from job to job, always grabbing another 6 if I use them. I see the way it's made but if I could put 2x4s side by side and make the top, i wouldn't have to get an additional plywood for top. We already do this on regular saw horses but it's annoying that they don't sit still when you pull off of them :P
One way to address the height issue with varying miter saws would be to design the legs to be able to join together with the use of pegs that would provide whatever height is required...think of two slices of bread with a toothpick joining them together...sorry I'm thinking about lunch. Seriously, think about the Lego design for interlocking the legs at different heights. This would also add double the strength for those looking to double the weight capacity.
Rob, I would really like to see your review Kreg Tools' Track Horse and Mobile Project Center, as well as Ron Paulk's Compact Work Bench and Total Work Station (he's on RUclips, and you can buy plans from him, but FastCap.com also sells his workbench kits already CNC'd).
On the bottom of the A Frame of each set of legs,,I am thinking of another set of half lap supports approximately 5 inches up from the bottom to tie the legs together for stability and also to give the user the opportunity to self design or devise a shelf system. Now,,that shelf system will work 2 ways----#1,,,a shelf to hold like maybe an 18" toolbox of hand tools,,,BUT,,To Me,,much more importantly to place weight,,,,,IE,,like a sandbag or 2. This way when you're alone and loading a solid oak door that you'll be sanding for refinishing or repair,,,having a area to store and use some well placed weight to provide better stability in case you slip while placing the door in position or you loose your grip and it falls into the horses,,they don't come crashing down,,because you can arrange a weighted low center of gravity,,,hopefully keeping your work station upright and undamaged,,or Worse Yet,,,,Damaging a completely IRREPLACEABLE Antique Door or the like... Thanks for listening. Frank@ Trucker0431@gmail.com ☺☺☺☺☺ Have a great Day and THANKS for making a product that's easier to set up and teardown without 2 extra pairs of arms. HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Adjustable legs: Slots, carriage bolts, and wing nuts, and washers. Don't change your design. Just add parallel vertical slots, hardware previously mentioned and add on pieces of 3/4" plywood with matching slots and matching rubber coated feet. Use this adjustable leg idea for the sawhorse and the outrigger for the miter saw extension wings. This will also solve the problem of the height difference between Dewalt, Bosch and other brands of miter saws without having to make any design changes to your core product line. Use 1/2" hardware. Not only will it be strong enough, it is readily available at any hardware store should a contractor need to replace a damaged or missing piece of hardware. Drill holes: Holes are great for many things. 1. They can readily accept the hooks on power tools as tool holders. 2. 3/4" pipe clamps are incorporated into saw horses quite frequently and can be used as vices, hold fasts, and even clamping stations for gluing up panels. 3. It gives us a place to run our extension cords under the middle of our work station so we are not tripping over them. 4. A grid of holes in a bench top can be used for many things: A) It can be a sanding station to collect sanding dust - vacuum port necessary. B) It can hold bench dogs which can be used as stop blocks for routing, planing, carving, etc. I) Sell bench dogs to fit in you top that has been drilled with holes in a grid pattern II) Sell hold fasts, pipe vices, and pipe clamps that fit in said holes C) If a contractor has jigs and fixtures they like to use, all they have to do is create a plywood base with dowels and now their jig/fixture will mount to your top with drilled holes in a grid pattern.
Would like to see and upgrade for those of us who work in a marine environment. Use marine grade plywood. Saltwater really takes its toll on regular plywood. Tom Shaw Pacific Dock Builders LLC
They should take a look at the Ron Paulk Workbench, LOL. But come on man, the design is such a no brainer that any decent Carpenter will just copy that design and make their own. Heck, even the average DIYER could do this. Sorry for being the debbie downer and I hope the company has success, but if I were a shark I would not invest.
Nalu Rash many contractors and carpenters make their own miter saw stations, that's the beautiful thing about building a flexible system that works for you… This system is customizable it was perfect for the guy who doesn't have the time or energy to build their own
Good Point. From the looks of it, it looks like it's made by a very small company in the USA. Probably some contractor, that made these for himself and decided others might benefit as well. I like that. Made in USA is a big deal, I think they should market that a bit more
Why aren't there more independent reviews of this design on RUclips? This design looks very good but before springing $$$ on this, let's hear more about this product.
To handle both uneven ground and different miter Saw heights I would have adjustable legs and work supports (this would introduce metal hardware to the system, which might not be what the designers want). I am building something similar and was looking for ideas. Thanks for reviewing this.
FlyBy804 I think they went out of business. Their domain was no longer up when I looked them up. Pretty sure anyone can get plywood and just make it themselves so there’s just no room for markup
Linex the table surface for protection. Also could add a mount for extra tools vise, bench grinder, etc. (would need a mount for vise and grinder to sit. Example: www.pinterest.com/pin/514114113687372779/. Also would be nice to have a drop down section for a table saw to be flush with the work table.
I dont see any improvements for the design other than to add a strap or harness made of some heavy duty nylon straps to keep it together when transporting or storing
I don't understand all the people talking about the Ron Paulk setups. This system is clearly designed with a different goal in mind, namely portability and ease of storage. There's no way I would try to use a Ron Paulk table as my jobsite table, it's totally impractical.
I think if they could incorporate fastcaps third hands ( goo.gl/NdDmK6 ) into the outriggers then it would be just about perfect. Either that or some other way to make them easily ajustable .
I know I'm too late for the free horses but on their center part of the sawhorse they could add two slots down low for a 2x4 laying flat so you could put a contractors portable table saw in between two horses and add an outfeed table behind the saw.
I'd love a set up like this! I'm always trying to find a way to use my miter station with a table set up. Great idea!

David Pepin That thought went through my head too, just because my work area is often wonky.

Hi Rob! I checked the article and the information section here but didn't see a link or url to learn more about the product. Did I miss it somehow?
I need this, so tired of buying the junk in box stores it's garbage. This looks much easier to adapt to
Suggestion from Australia (don't know if you ship here). I think it would be good to have a hole near a front edge so folks can mount their routers underneath with simple bearing bits.

I will build one in the next few months, because i need it for making a Green- and Gardenhouse in spring. Good
iIdea!! Jo
Any stop blocks for multiple cuts of the same size or is that just a Measure clamp and go?
A square bench design. Could use 2 of the same cross sections and 2 wider ends to make a low bench or a square work station. It would allow for slipping in router table jigs or even a table saw jib since it'd bee sturdier
Make the outriggers adjustable with a sleeve and wooden pins for different height saws
I'd like to see a way to carry all the components at once and maybe add some wood I-beam style construction to some pieces though, doing so would probably increase the disassembled stack size. To solve the uneven ground problem, you could make a 3 legged version.

Custom colors , add hinges so that it could be folded into a smaller form so that it could sold together in a bag or a carrier . To make it more lightweight , add triangular holes to some of the larger , longer pieces . For taller person like me , add spacer pieces for the equipment . For the Elite version , do it with carbon fibre !
Whilst end-user mods/improvements are not limited, I would like to see a factory-applied moisture barrier on all supplied plywood components.
Do you know if they are still in business?
Pretty slick.
Why not have screw type adjustable feet for the extension legs, better yet a quick lock system with more range for uneven ground. This could even be an optional accessory that the extension leg attaches to.
They should add where you can put a standard job site table saw in and with a nice out feed table
i’ll just make my own!
It's good that they have a option for tall carpenters, but what about us short guys? I typically use sawpony ( that is what other guys on the crew call them) . I make them 26" tall so that I can reach across a 4'×8 sheet of plywood.
It would be great if the Kreg Precision Track and stop could be added
I would love to have a way to use a table saw and be able to configure additional sections as such that would allow me to use it as an out feed table.
Looks like their website is gone. They have a Facebook page now as their site but it's not active. I'd just like to buy plans to build my own. Does anyone know if they offer that?
I would love to have a this sawhorse to test it I'm a carpenter here in Orlando Florida and I'll made an awesome video about it
great but perhaps design feet for outside use in dirt or muddy areas
Yes, you are right
Make a handle that will slide through each piece and hold them together, so they can be carried as one maybe two pieces, also keep them organized. Make a common hole at an even height to slide the handle through so the parts that touch the floor will be even.
Can you add a product link so people can look at pricing and purchase?
Adding something that would clamp on the outrigger to allow for an adjustable stop would be helpful.
They should put a bolt, knob and a separate piece of plywood with a slot for adjustments on the out riggers so you can adjust between 2 different saws or if the ground isn't perfectly level.
I would say a little more support but it is a great design.
Add a feature for a three leg setup. Modify one side of a cross brace to slip into one of the legs of SawHorse.
Ron paulk makes an awesome stand
Shouldn't all of the edges be made waterproof? Not necessarily rubberized but waterproofed nonetheless.
Adding stop blocks would help but may be hard to use
IDEA: drill into the side of the end grain of the A style table supperts to accept a 3/8th or 1/2" dowel and include the dowels to provide an optional place to hang tools
What if you could make it to where you can add 2x4s to make a top instead of carrying plywood with you too? I carry 2x4s with me from job to job, always grabbing another 6 if I use them.

What happened with this?
Positive stops for repetitive cuts would be nice.
I can add a tablesaw hook to and a router table or a inverted jigsaw
Rob, I tried visiting the Saw Horse Pro web-site and called their phone number. No connection. Are they out of business?
wingsley bummer, sounds like they closed shop
Adjustable legs: Slots, carriage bolts, and wing nuts, and washers. Don't change your design. Just add parallel vertical slots, hardware previously mentioned and add on pieces of 3/4" plywood with matching slots and matching rubber coated feet. Use this adjustable leg idea for the sawhorse and the outrigger for the miter saw extension wings. This will also solve the problem of the height difference between Dewalt, Bosch and other brands of miter saws without having to make any design changes to your core product line. Use 1/2" hardware. Not only will it be strong enough, it is readily available at any hardware store should a contractor need to replace a damaged or missing piece of hardware.
Drill holes: Holes are great for many things.
1. They can readily accept the hooks on power tools as tool holders.
2. 3/4" pipe clamps are incorporated into saw horses quite frequently and can be used as vices, hold fasts, and even clamping stations for gluing up panels.
3. It gives us a place to run our extension cords under the middle of our work station so we are not tripping over them.
4. A grid of holes in a bench top can be used for many things:
A) It can be a sanding station to collect sanding dust - vacuum port necessary.
B) It can hold bench dogs which can be used as stop blocks for routing, planing, carving, etc.
I) Sell bench dogs to fit in you top that has been drilled with holes in a grid pattern
II) Sell hold fasts, pipe vices, and pipe clamps that fit in said holes
C) If a contractor has jigs and fixtures they like to use, all they have to do is create a plywood base with dowels and now their jig/fixture will mount to your top with drilled holes in a grid pattern.
Would like to see and upgrade for those of us who work in a marine environment. Use marine grade plywood. Saltwater really takes its toll on regular plywood. Tom Shaw Pacific Dock Builders LLC
I would put a stop block and tape measure
It needs more clamp points for users using it mainly for cutting.
They should take a look at the Ron Paulk Workbench, LOL. But come on man, the design is such a no brainer that any decent Carpenter will just copy that design and make their own. Heck, even the average DIYER could do this. Sorry for being the debbie downer and I hope the company has success, but if I were a shark I would not invest.
Nalu Rash many contractors and carpenters make their own miter saw stations, that's the beautiful thing about building a flexible system that works for you… This system is customizable it was perfect for the guy who doesn't have the time or energy to build their own
Good Point. From the looks of it, it looks like it's made by a very small company in the USA. Probably some contractor, that made these for himself and decided others might benefit as well. I like that. Made in USA is a big deal, I think they should market that a bit more
A Concord Carpenter / ToolBoxBuzz they need to look at ron Paulk’s mitter station and the hoses for the extenders
Nalu Rash slot them and make feet
Why aren't there more independent reviews of this design on RUclips? This design looks very good but before springing $$$ on this, let's hear more about this product.
To handle both uneven ground and different miter Saw heights I would have adjustable legs and work supports (this would introduce metal hardware to the system, which might not be what the designers want). I am building something similar and was looking for ideas. Thanks for reviewing this.
Can't really input how I could better it if I haven't used one
YoSoyGus1 I see your point, but there are many great ideas in these comments from guys in your shoes
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just buy the plans for it and build it yourself? Or buy one set and just fabricate multiple copies?
Graham K sure if you have the time and energy
Where do you buy this thing?
FlyBy804 I think they went out of business. Their domain was no longer up when I looked them up. Pretty sure anyone can get plywood and just make it themselves so there’s just no room for markup
Linex the table surface for protection. Also could add a mount for extra tools vise, bench grinder, etc. (would need a mount for vise and grinder to sit. Example: www.pinterest.com/pin/514114113687372779/.
Also would be nice to have a drop down section for a table saw to be flush with the work table.
to much of a prosses I like inventions that simplify the process making it quicker and less work
I dont see any improvements for the design other than to add a strap or harness made of some heavy duty nylon straps to keep it together when transporting or storing
Seems a bit shaky/ flimsy in the video.. maybe add some hardwood to the design to make it more ridged. Just a thought.
I don't understand all the people talking about the Ron Paulk setups. This system is clearly designed with a different goal in mind, namely portability and ease of storage. There's no way I would try to use a Ron Paulk table as my jobsite table, it's totally impractical.
YOUR ENERGY. PLEASE TONE DOWN. YOUR ENERGY. STOP YELLING AT THE CAMERA.
I think if they could incorporate fastcaps third hands ( goo.gl/NdDmK6 ) into the outriggers then it would be just about perfect. Either that or some other way to make them easily ajustable .
🧔🏻I’m a lil late to the party but what the hell MACKEATER!!!
Saw horses and a piece of plywood has always worked fine for me. This looks too complicated.
a little flimsy, not robust made.
Ron Paulk rip off ??
What a joke!!
I know I'm too late for the free horses but on their center part of the sawhorse they could add two slots down low for a 2x4 laying flat so you could put a contractors portable table saw in between two horses and add an outfeed table behind the saw.
