MOUNTING UNUSUAL OR
UNCOMMON MITRE SAWS
If your mitre saw is 'uncommon' or 'unusual' an
adaptor plate may be necessary.
The adaptor plate can be bolted to the two (2)
saw mounting brackets, and when attached to
the stand should provide a suitable mounting
platform for most mitre saws.
The mitre saw can then be screwed or bolted to
the adaptor plate.
We recommend at least 25 mm thick plywood or
a piece of 32mm or 40mm kitchen worktop for
this adaptor plate.
Consult the manufacturer of the saw for any
special adjustments, other requirements or
fixings etc needed to permanently mount your
saw to a worktop.
• A square or rectangular piece of plywood, or
worktop should be sourced which will fit the
'footprint' and mounting hole configuration of
your saw.
• The adaptor plate should be drilled and
bolted to the saw mounting brackets using
appropriate bolts, or fixings etc.
• The adaptor plate can then be attached to the
mitre saw stand and the mitre saw positioned
upon the adaptor plate.
• For stability during use, care should be taken
to ensure that the mitre saw is positioned on
the adaptor plate so that most of the bulk and
weight of the saw is centrally located over the
two (2) mitre saw stand crossbars.
• Use suitable fixings to attach the mitre saw to
the adaptor plate.
• Check the stability of the machine and
installation over the full range of operating
conditions.
Note: Usually the machines fence should align
as closely as possible with the centre-line of the
mitre saw stand rear crossbar.
