DIY Bandsaw Stand || Simple and versatile Portable Band Saw stand build

We built a better mount for our deep cut Milwaukee portable band saw!

The problem with traditional bandsaw stand is that it is often a pain to switch between vertical or portable mode when you need! So we build our own version that enables us to choose the best mode depending on the project we are working on!

Fantastic video! Even better that you are a Canadian Maker. Following you

I love the design! Please consider creating "Part 2, " where you explain some of the details, such as how to set up the switch, why you chose to do certain things, etc.

Excellent design. This is the best version of a benchtop stand for a handheld bandsaw I have seen. Been looking the past couple days at many versions trying to decide on which one suits me best. I think this one is the one for me. I like the switch you mounted which is a nice solution but I do also like the ones I have seen using a foot-operated switch. And you used armored cable which most do not bother to do, that is a plus and a good choice for a tool like this.

I like that it is metal and is bolted down yet the saw comes right out, nice.

Very nice portaband stand/table you made. The only thing I would change would be to orient the receptacle to stand vertical instead of facing up. The saw produces a lot of metal “dust” and the up facing receptacle will catch it.
The attachment method for the cutting table is brilliant!!
Thanks for sharing!

Super simple Design. bought a vbandsaw a few days ago with the intention to build a stand for it, i think i will design mine simmilar to yours. i really like the emergencystop you added, good thing to have. thanks for the idea, earned my sub.

Very nice. The table design is genius. Right now I just clamp mine in a vise and use a Billy Pedal (foot pedal) but if I do get around to building a stand this will be the one that I build. Thanks for posting.

Interesting build. Looks like the table might have a fair bit of play in it ie it is not very solid.

[joell]

Very nice design. I’m going to have to study the video a few time and make one for myself. Thank you 👍👍😎👍👍

[Goldwingrider]

Very Kwel video !! Great design!! I like it!! Specifically “clip on plate” nice feature! 👍

[joewhitney]

Great idea for the stand. Great video.

Joli travail bien pensé et très bien réalisé. Bravo et Merci pour cette vidéo sympathique et utile.

[LandLManyk]

Great video! Nice design. I appreciate all the video edits, I didn't have to watch or listen to a bunch of chatter.

[r.hernandez]

That's cool in all but I just put mine in a vise and use the built-in guard! 👍🏻

[derangedmotorsports]

AWESOME build there.. Thanks for sharing that...If you could..tell me the brand of on off switch you use there ???...I can use a bunch of those lol

[pukinpaja]

Nice Stand! I must do like that my Optimum bandsaw... 🎅🏻👌🏻🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

[daveknott]

great work! First time watching here, and will keep checking you out. thanks!

Outstanding! Just bought a Ridgid portable bandsaw and I am looking for ideas on how to do a stand. I am going to copy yours. At one point you sprayed something on it. I thought it was paint but it doesn’t look like paint. What is it? Watching you from the Caribbean.

[flatroc]

Great job. I was thinking you should put your design and build skills to work and make a combination vertical / hinging horizontal band saw table ?

[richardhansen]

Nice idea. Can you make it all out of thick aluminum plate so I can use it with water cooling? I'm looking to set up a battery operated portable bandsaw like this to dedicate for cutting aluminum. Without water cooling I'm finding that the aluminum work hardens as I cut, then the cut gets progressively worse. This video is a great idea, but could it have a drain tray, tank mount and water hose and all aluminum to not rust?
