What do you guys think? Would this be useful? Is $4k too much for a tool that helps you be more efficient and safer at the same time? For me, if a tool makes me better and quicker....It's a good investment!

For me, the ideas in kzfaq.infoUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

For $4k you could buy a low boy trailer and turn it into a cut station.

$4,000 for three aluminum saw horses, yeah what a great deal. I’ll stick with my dewalt miter stand and a tape measure

just two inputs - 1) The legs should fold out and lock without needing to bend over to push the lock in, only when folding it up should you have to unlock and saying that, the lock release could be near bottom of the legs inside so your not bending over 2) The aluminium stop only needs one lock to push down, the back side should just hook over the table just an opinion on the product :)

My suggestion for version 2.0: an additional fence or a rail to keep long lumber parallel to the fence of your mitersaw. And to prevent from falling down. the second idea is a kind of soft-cover, if you cut painted or sensitve material to prevent from scratches.

Wow, something that makes Festool seem inexpensive.

Cant get into it if they are ashamed to list prices on their website. Saw you said $4k??? Nope, but thanks for the demo

It’s perfect for what you are doing. I have never cried later about cost for a set up I love.

Damm you get me every time I wanted to look something up seen your new video 20 min later I forgot what I wanted to look up

The fact that this feature video is now a year old, and I have yet to see this used again in the background of any videos since is a good indication of the practicality of this system.

Everybody is always looking to get the edge in trying to cut cost and be more efficient . Its a product for production on a large scale

They need a lead-in angle for the leg lock button. There should not be a need to press the button to extend the leg. They need to move the leg frame under the table so the stop can be locked all the way to the ends of the tables. There needs to be friction locks on the table connecting tubes instead of fussy spring loaded bullet pins. The stop needs to be one handed instead of two handed. There needs to be a story board stop setup where you can reposition the stop in 3 or 4 of your most common measurements. There needs to be a dolly of some kind. I think most of us agree that cost needs to be pulled out of the unit to get the price back down in line with the competition.

That setup is great on so many levels it's amazing. First thing that comes to mind is a safer way to do your job. And do it better, safer, faster, better cuts, less waste. The list goes on. No question it's a great investment. One thing it's the mark of a pro, not a hack. It's a money maker. For you.

Very quality video Kyle. Great job show how the cuthub is useful and improves efficiency. For framing we have built our own mitersaw stand that work quite well and was less than $50 in lumber. The cut hub looks extremely slick to use but I’m sure I could justify the price of it. Thanks again for showing an innovative product Kyle.

It's a really nice system. I'd love to own... That being said I see this as a 1500$ system. I don't think I'd be comfortable paying much more than that

I hate wasting time this is nothing but efficiency Like everything else to do thanks for sharing

Commercial equipment isn’t cheap especially GOOD commercial equipment. If it saves you time and gives you a better finished product then I think it’s worth it.

Looks like a great system. Thanks for the thorough review.

Wow that’s an awesome set up. Wish I had that when I was in construction many many years ago they would’ve been so helpful

It’s a sweet setup. Definitely on the pricey end, but no doubt would pay for itself over time provided it holds up. Good catch trying to butt them against each other. He may have already come out with the workaround. Pretty simple fix IMO. Great Video!

Awesome video. Great station! Grew up in Minnesota- this video made me feel cold haha and glad I now live in CA.

Great tool! Great review!Not worth $4k too a little guy right out of the gate, however I can see the benefits for production work.I also see this becoming easier and faster for you after using it more.

I would love to see an video on your trailer, and your setup.

Looks like a fantastic setup.

In 15 years installing cabinets, I’ve had enough room on a job site to set something like this up maybe 10 times. I’m sure there are plenty of exceptions but this is essentially an outdoor setup.

It's great for a company with a budget to spend. For a small company it's too expensive. Thanks for demonstration Kyle

Your stop extension is probably for extending between these stations too. Looks like a great time saver for framing.

I knew I shouldn't have read any of the comments…

I suppose until Version 2 comes out, you could use clamps to hold the sections together. Also that area where the stop can't go, you could use the "safety bar" to extent into that area. Nice video. Seems like a good system. R

Great job

4k is way too much for "some tables". I know that the price is high because of the development. You could buy a lot of great stuff for 4k. But for sure, its useful!

It’s pricey at $4k !!!! Been a long time since I’ve been in the building trades but I’d say that it would pay dividends for someone who builds in the volume and style that you do. You do a great job with your buildings and with you tool reviews. You and your crew seem like great people.

Really cool stuff

Maybe for 1/5 the cost. For that price I'd be scared to leave for lunch

I can do the exact same thing with my $200 DeWalt miter saw stand. I do it every day, I'm a trim Carpenter.

Like the setup!

I really like this tool. The price for me is a bit high but im not a pro. I will however make a diy version for myself with some t track and a metal tape rule from fastcap. Awesome tool, Fantastic Idea, outta my budget

i really do like the idea and concept hopefully in few more years price will drop i would definitely be interested

For siders I could see this, but when I'm building a structure I'm usually mobile with saw in hand. A Finnish guy works on flat ground where he can use a pod to hold up long pieces. Even if I had this I'm not sure it would be a good fit for me. I have made a plywoood table and a few extended pieces to hold up my work piece for use with the miter and table saws

Perfect 👌👌

Gone are the days of building stands, stools and nonsense. So awesome!

Looks best for large scale work , like what you deal with in your big metal clad buildings. Other fence/table/stop systems have advantages for smaller scale and finish work.

Given the size of the buildings these guys build I would say any miter/ cutoff station is a must have. I know this was a demonstration on the gravel but I would set it up once on the building slab until the job was done. Like the other commentors I question the $4k price but good tools made in this country are pricey. If you get what you pay for it is a good deal. When I was a machinest I bought Starrat measuring tools. Not inexpensive but very good. I have been watching these videos and have been impressed by the sheer efficiency of these guys.

I just hit the big five-oh. I recently bought a DWX723. When my buds see it, they remind me I'm old. This thing looks nice, but too nice for me.

lay the square on your board and use it to guide the saw. perfect cut every time.

Great tool for professional applications.

It needs an easier to read scale and multiple flip up but sturdy stop blocks. That way you could lock in multiple measurements for faster production.

I may have to see how much one of these run... I like the setup.

Framers done need this set up.

I was thinking the same thing about the lock when you put them together, until version 2.0 comes out I would just throw a clamp or two on there, that would keep the two together and it’s always good to have clamps around anyway

I am going to see about buying one.

Dude for $4 k it would want to frame the bloody building for me!!! No way!!!

If it increases productivity, accuracy, safety and saves time it is worth it for a pro builder. The pro builder/owner is clearly who this tool is being marketed to. I like it. You get what you pay for!

Crazy... I've been looking for something like this but for our rebar cutter..

I would love to own this miter saw system. The price just seems a little steep i would of never imagined to be that much but besides the price seems like a real innovative product.

Hey Kyle. You could use a couple of clamps to lock the butted ends together before v2 comes out.

I like it . it only needs a spacer plate to go over the bars like the table saw lock it .

Not for me, even if I was still framing full time. Good call on the locking together function. Its range is clearly compromised by the lack of that feature. I like the concept but also see room for improvement, especially at the price point. I like the adjustable legs but feel they could be improved for a more accurate surface. Would also like to see more of a back fence. perhaps even on board level vials.

Whoa. Pricey.

Add a 24 inch guide/template/measuring stick, attached somewhere on the framework so you can zero your mitre saw EXACTLY EACH TIME.........BUT thinking about it, you have to zero everything according to the tape measure you are using that day, be wary of using a dinged tape measure you dropped later in the day or you doing the cuts while your work colleague is shouting out the measurements using a different tape measure, without checking they are giving the same measurement's, other than that any tool that makes you time and money and life easier is worth a look, great review

Love it

I like it....ta for the Vid.

that's a killer unit and I love how firm and stable it is. I currently use the Ridgid big assed heavy cart on wheels for my Dewalt 780 and I bet it weighs as much as that entire set up. I hate that I have 2 spindly four foot arms to hold up my work and once cut the work falls to the ground. I especially like the table saw out table. Curious if it would work with my Dewalt table saw cart.

I know for sure tho ill be getting one of those martinez squares soon hopefully theyll be getting some instock been checking theyre website theyve been out of the stock.

The festool system does the exact same thing with the wings and has good stops and is way cheaper with the saw included.

For the time and effort, build yourself a Paulk Total Station workbench. I'm glad I did!

When the sections are pushed together tight you could add a locking block to the legs using the available slot in each. Maybe a couple of carriage bolts and wing nuts and an aluminum piece cut to size.

Worth mentioning to everyone else... this is the largest most exclusive cut hun package called the "contractors package" there are smaller panchages that don't include all 3.

Hey Kyle love your channel but I have one question for you. Everything you explain about the Cut Hub sounds great except the price of course....all your initial cuts are being referenced off an assumed perfectly square milled end? I never assume that anything is square from the lumber supplier? Any reason your not starting with a perfect square cut that you mill?

Hey Kyle, I can see for a post framer or exterior guy with long stock I can see this being the cats whistle, I'm also willing to pay more for a usa made product, id be interested to see a cost comparison between a commercial made unit, realising there is no comparison in capabilities. Tough to figure out the payoff of a unit, $4k seems a touch high but not out of the ball park.

We use 2/4 built saw horses that we’ve had for well over a year.. 4 to 6 pairs of saw horses and all built from scrap wood or horses from the house before. I know everyone’s different but I couldn’t even imagine.

When disassembling the three tables consider flipping the table your folding the legs down onto the remaining table, then you are not bent over working on the ground except for the last table.

You could fix the not locking at 48 inches with 5 minutes and a 1/4 inch drill bit

Nice rig...but....too low for me. I see the adjustable legs. Probably could pre-set the height and leave it. Another but....noticed at tear down not much room between the feet of the legs in the folded position, that would prevent the pre setting of the leg height for different job sites. Should have used the Milwaukee saw...would have matched the red on the hub. Lol What weight are the horses(benches) rated at?. Could use as a impromptu scaffold. Keep up the great craftsmanship Greg

thats a well organise trailer

A few things: 1: I cannot believe how warm it was last winter. We had a similar situation in PA., and shortly after that warm spell it snowed heavily and froze and the temp dropped below zero F. You had an ideal winter job site there! 2: I would've liked to see the Cut Hub set up with those wooden outriggers that Dave Jessop brought to you. I could see how they would be very useful when you were stacking your cut lumber for your windows and balancing them on the one metal horse. 3: You didn't show any detailed footage of how the miter saw is first mated to the Cut Hub saw platform. That would be neat to see. 4: One neat thing that Concord Carpenter / Toolbox Buzz did when they reviewed Milwaukee's smaller prefab miter saw horse, they showed how the saw station platform included a small indentation for retaining small items like a pencil or razor-blade knife. Robilard suggested Milwaukee improve this tray-within-a-tray by magnetizing it. Cut Hub should do something similar with their "2.0". kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7iZe8yQsNK7go0.html 5: Dave Jessop & Co. could always team up with Red Oxx from MT. Both made in MT., both premium in their niche, both would appeal to rugged, on-the-road contractors. 6: This is going to sound a little silly at first, but please stop and think: This Cut Hub with two wooden outriggers would make a great on-site table for viewing blueprints as well as for lunch breaks and other table applications. All that would be needed is a pair of benches. If there were a way to clamp down a blueprint (or shade umbrella/tent) to the table, this would be very useful for a variety of applications, both job site and otherwise. 7: I hope all those components a durable and hold up a long time. 8: In your job trailer, you used the shipping boxes for storage. That's a minor, though significant, selling point. What was that box you stacked the cordless saw on top of? Was that part of the boxing as well?

This would be awesome for siding! Any lap siding, would be perfect on this Cut Hub cut station! We cut the same number many times. Awesome video as always Kyle!

Being only a two man operation $4k is a BIG investment. At every build we setup our cut station made from wood . I design it to tear down and assemble in about 30min we don't disassemble every day. It stays under a pull out canopy which is attached to the side of my 20-foot trailer that comes out about 20 ft

I used to think Festool stands were overpriced until I saw this one! Thanks for demonstrating it but it’s a stand with a kinda, sorta, sometimes ruler/stop built in (with an extension that was a truly horrible afterthought). I made my own stand and I agree the efficiency is good, but in my opinion this unit was not well designed. A system with flip stops that can be left set at common measurements and flipped down as required is a whole level higher efficiency. That’s not possible with this unit. Kudos to the guy for giving it a go, but no, this is not a US$4K product. Sorry.

Just as you have the "two hammer challenge", you could do a challenge with you on the pile and a cub on the cut hub, who's fastest?

Very cool setup. Absolutely would be useful, more accurate and a time saver. 4k is a hard pill to swallow though.

First off, I never need to cut long boards in multiples. Being built with aluminum,fit , finish,and portability..looks like a great start. Did I miss something, or what happens when the board length ends between stands? A continuous tape measure,as well as a place for the stop.. is what I thought this system was all about? The stop should be wider( for stability),and only need the front locked like a table saw.

You’re the best

I think it’s awesome and I’m definitely not against spending money on tools but that is a hefty price. I was gonna guess around $1500.

nice. metabo gave you some free stuff to try out. nice. wicked.

Ive been thinking about this for a couple weeks. I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy it this week. How do you like it 4 years later

When builders get to your level, they fabricate in a shop. The girts and purlins are alot cheaper when bought by the truckload. Have a laborer cut and drill in bulk inside the shop and store them for future jobs.

Very nice. I would love to see one i norway with a metric system. How is that big milwaukee ligth work? 😊 👍

The biggest thing people are missing is that we don't all make straight cuts on every board. I rarely build pitched foods with straight walls. Stop blocks allow me to square one end then cut an angle on the other side very quickly and accurately. Same goes for super long tji and engineered studs and lvl. If you are building anything other than cookie cutters and especially if you do it in remote places like me, a proper workstations is key. No reason you can't swap out the mitre saw for a cold metal saw if you do all the trades like me. Then move it into your home shop. I still think at this price it needs a full fence though.

Just a thought put a draw latch on the side to lock them together. Or just throw a ratchet strap around the leg to keep it from moving when you have the tables slid together.

Crazy money for that. I’ll take the 20 minutes to make a couple saw horses out of 2x4s that cost me $10

Damn I thought it was gonna be 1,000 and even then I would think it's expensive. It really does look like a quality stand tho

Hello, Coming from 40 years experience as a Carpenter the majority doing finish Carpentry, this saw station does have it's place especially if you are an "Owner Operator and hire out regularly.. I have several work stations and if I could go through a "do over" in life(starting in the Trades) I would do a few hings a little differently and would consider this Saw Station... It is a little too big for most Finnish Carpentry needs(indoors)... Greg

First, you provide a lot of content and explanation in your videos. Thank you for that. You set this station up left handed. Why. It seems that a right handed set up would be better for your crew and avoid the dreaded cross handling of a miter saw. Is this available with the equipment that you were provided? Maybe you could provide an explanation in another video. Otherwise, except for leveling, set up looks great. I have the money, I just need the justification for a non commercial junkie who is a tool freak! LOL. Thanks again.

Watching you set up and take down this stand, reminds me of how much I hate my Ryobi miter saw stand that I paid $100 for. I was thinking that I could make a very similar stand that I would probably also hate, by buying 2 more of those stands and making a few minor alterations. I would have less than $400 into a stand that would be muck cheaper than 4 grand! The thing I hate most about my stand is the fact that you have to bend over so much to fold the legs in and out, and the fact that it doesn't have wheels like every other stand.

Great video and appreciate the info but I’m thinking I can do this with 2 dewalt stands or more tied together for around $600.

I could use that! 4K is a lot of money though. I need to be able to see the money in the tool itself. Those 3 tables don’t seem like they should cost that much. To me at least.

Great tool where can I find It and where are you working .

It’s a cool miter station design .
