CGCINC Project#8: Portable Band Saw Stand

[CGCINC]

I always need a vertical band saw it seems and I liked Powertigs stand he did here... http://www.everlastgenerators.com/fo...Band-Saw-Stand

I wanted mine to be floor standing.
The piece of angled metal that mounts to the back of the saw is from a leg raise workout bench that was spare parts. The 1/2" plate base was given to me and the 2 x 4 riser is left over from my Bicep machine build.
I went to Harbor Freight and bought a $79 portaband for this project.
The handle sits down in the channel on top of the stand. I used one bolt through the handle to hold it in place.
I removed the second handle and that is where I mounted the angled piece in back.
This was a fast and easy stand taking about an hour to complete. It has 3 bolts that I can remove if I need to use the saw manually.
Nothing fancy, just thought I would share....





This plate was given to me and it had 1" holes in each corner.
I cut 1" tubing in 1" sections to slide down in and weld for feet.






Time to get out the 1/8" filler rod!

Looks good now wide a piece can you cut with it? I converted th HF saw to strictly vertical but only cuts about 3".

Good job! I like that a lot, might have to steal that idea. You might want to replace the stage to accommodate larger pieces.

that looks nice, what kind of saw is that? Do you have plans to bolt it down at some point?

The saw is made by Chicago Electric. I don't plan on bolting it down. The base is pretty heavy and it doesn't move when I use it.
Eventually I plan on getting a Real vertical saw so this is temporary
