This is to not clutter up the Shop Outlook thread with updates (I've deleted a couple of posts).
The genesis of this was to replace my short cabinet that I built for my previous miter saw. That 10" CMS is a lot narrower than my current 12" SCMS, and the way I built the cabinet I couldn't use it for the new one. Combine that aspect with how I messed up the drawers (made too narrow), and it was time to tear down and replace.
This is what it looks like (the section of drawers and the part to the right):
I spent probably six months trying to decide how I was going to use the miter saw - secured on a bench, portable on a rolling stand, etc. Even as late as a couple of weeks ago, I was still unsure. Since buying the saw I had it sitting on my router table, so it was semi-portable. While crosscutting 12' long boards is a nice feature to have, it was one I didn't think I'd get a lot of use from. I eventually decided to put the saw back on a permanent stand and leave the portability for the planer and jointer.
This is what I hope it will look like:
