A very worthwhile project. Something I have been trying to get to for a while now. In a small shop, pivoting the saw and not having to maneuver the long stock is a huge benefit. I plan on having a wall rack for the stock and incorporate the pivoting saw in a roller table all part of the wall rack. I found a complete Makita cut-off saw on Craig's List for free. It had bad motor bearings but I only want the swivel base assembly. I will adapt my existing dry saw to fit this setup. Sorry about the incomplete nature of the pictures. I just wanted to reinforce your idea and hemmjo's post about using an existing system.
