Nice table. I welded a angle using 2" sq tube. One leg of the angle is clamped by the vise, the second leg runs horizontally towards the saw. From there i welded a vertical leg that mounts to the table. The slot for the bade is at the back side of the table . This takes seconds to install and you never need to remove the 2 screws that hold the blade guide guard, the table sits above it

I've thought of this too and how to make something for my old old Dayton bandsaw. Still thinking. You're probably done by now, but thought I'd mention that my old old craftsman wood bandsaw table had a drilled and tapped hole at the edge of the slotted part of the table and just a set screw to hold the two sides steady. Easy to remove when replacing the blade or in my case quickly wanting to remove the Vertical table for Horizontal use.

That's definitely the sturdiest diy band saw table I've seen so far, looks great! Also I wanted to suggest that for items like this with through-holes, you could have spotted those on the first op, then drilled them before doing the second op. I think that even with them being off-center, it could have made it easy to register its location on the machine, especially if there were more complex features on that bottom side.

You are absolutely right that paint won't last. I haven't seen a spraypaint with even decent wear resistance. I'd have oxidize it electrolytically. Bit of battery acid and current and pure aluminium as a cathode, and you'd have hard and slippery surface which you could also colorize.

Great vid. Would have been cool to send it out for anodizing. Obviously not cost or time effective. But awesome….

I wonder if something like a dye, like the stuff you use to blue steel would be another alternative to paint. I have something called colloidal graphite where I work that is graphite suspended in alcohol. We primarily use it for lubricating things and antisieze on threaded connections, but it does do a nice job of coloring metal. It doesn't last forever, but is easy to apply. I just started watching the latest season of Battle Bots and want to wish you and your team good luck.

Nice video! I've got an avid but haven't tried aluminum yet. I watched your fog buster vid so I'll be looking into that. What bits are you using for the pockets and contours?

Hi, Great solution. You have made a drawing with Solidworks. Is your drawing available in a Fusion 360 compatible format?

I never have been able to get a square cut using a bandsaw so not a fan of the miter gauge in this project, but the table looks great.

I'd buy that for a dollar. Or two or three.

The saws we have in our fab lab are required to be anchored to the floor. Did you say yours is on casters? I would be afraid of it tipping over.

do you have any plans on building like a beetle weight or an ant weight in the future or is it over with the robot fights for now

Hello. Just found and subscribed to your channel. I found you by searching HF 7x12 bandsaw. You didn't say on this video and I couldn't see enough to tell for sure but is this the same bandsaw ? Thanks in advance. Greg in Michigan Ps.... Today, ( 1/30/23 ) the HF saw is $1399. Ouch😲 I'm still considering it because all of them have gone up like everything else in the world.

Cool idea but I don't have a milling machine. May try to make table with wooden top and screw in metal surface plate

When are you going to make the video on low low man and psychotic break?

Really dude

Tools that have a pristine paint job make me suspicious.

It's so insulting to include such a flimsy table. They could just sell a better one separately. Btw, I can tell you've been watching Inheritance Machining. Dude actually draws his plans on a drafting table. I can understand why some folks avoid computers. They can be very mentally distracting with usability often influencing the design.
