Putting a digital readout on a portable jobsite saw stand

Framing
Miter Saw
Cut Lists

A jobsite cut station is a saw clamped to a folding stand with roller arms, and nothing about it is flat, fixed or repeatable the way a shop bench is. The M1 Caliber mounts to the saw rather than the bench, so the readout travels with the tool and the stop is the number on the display instead of a block clamped to a rail that shifts. Blade width is compensated, so the first cut of the morning matches the last of the day.

Why it works off a stand

Nothing on a folding stand stays put
The M1 mounts to the saw, not the bench
Readout is the stop, not a clamped block
M1 Caliber compensates the blade width
First cut of the day matches the last

A portable miter saw is set up on a folding stand with roller supports and stacked material alongside, the M1 Caliber mounted at the fence. Timber is fed along and cut, the display stepping through readings including twenty-two and twenty-three and change. The stand is on wheels and the stock is supported by the arms rather than a bench.
