Default Setting up miter saw table, need opinions!

I have two miter saws, one old, very accurate Craftsman
the weighs about 100lbs and a new, couple years old,
Tradesman from Lowes that is a very good saw in my
opinion.

I want to mount them on the work bench. I can shim
the Craftsman to the same height as the Tradesman
and line up the fences and put a table between them.
I will do a fold down table on the right end of the bench.
I have ten feet cutting capacity to the right of the
Craftsman and eight feet to the left of the Tradesman.
The room is just under 12' wide.

I think this will cover any thing I want to cut. I can
rough cut larger pieces first.

The biggest thing I see myself building is a Grandfather
clock and they will be no more than seven feet tall.

Do you see any problems with my setup?

Why are you labeled a bad person?

Anyhow, I think your set-up is genius!!! I think having them work together like that speeds up operation and gives you a accurate table height.
