As part of my never-ending quest to maximize my limited shop space, I built a miter saw cart with fold-out wings and storage. I had a Bora miter saw stand that I hardly used, and its footprint was way too large that I mostly kept it folded up in the corner of the shop. The miter saw I took off and just put on top of an old steel cart I had. What put me over the edge was picking up a new sliding miter saw from PeteQuad when he was clearing out his shop. It's a Milwaukee 12" slider that has a MUCH larger footprint than my 10" Hitachi non-slider. Now that it's completed, i'm making space by getting rid of the cart, stand, and old saw. I had some drawers that the new miter saw was sitting on that I can now move elsewhere in the shop, probably under a workbench to conserve floor space. I haven't decided what I'll use the storage in the cart for yet. I'll probably end up putting some shelves in it to maximize the space and keep my circular saw and other tools in there.
Made from 2 sheets of 3/4 Radiata Pine plywood from HD (about $40/sheet). Pocket hole joinery, concealed hinges for the doors, 5" locking casters. I bought the plans from Fisher's Shop. For $5, it was well worth it, and he has a video detailing the construction. The wing supports have furniture levelers to level the wings to the saw. One thing to note that the plans didn't mention is to measure the height of the miter saw bed before cutting the wings so they're the same height when deployed. My saw's bed height was about an inch taller than what was in the plans.
