Mobile Cutoff Bin

Tired of scrap wood piling up around your table saw? This Mobile Cutoff Bin offers the perfect storage solution for organizing those leftover pieces of wood that are too good to toss. Designed with mobility and simplicity in mind, this DIY shop cart makes cleanup a breeze and helps you reclaim valuable workspace.

Whether you're deep into a woodworking project or just making a few quick cuts, having a place to toss usable cutoffs is essential. This rolling bin is perfectly sized to fit beside your table saw, miter saw, or workbench — and its smooth-rolling casters let you move it wherever you need. The angled design encourages neat stacking, while the open top makes it easy to toss pieces in and pull them out later for small projects, jigs, or test cuts.

Best of all, this woodworking plan is fast, simple, and budget-friendly. The bin is built from common plywood using straightforward butt joints reinforced with screws. The front slats are made from inexpensive ½" EMT conduit, available at any home center — adding strength while keeping the build light and affordable.
