The Ultimate Portable Bandsaw Stand Build Mig Welding project. This week we are building the Ultimate Bandsaw Stand. This is probably the best bandsaw stand design that you will find. No tools are necessary to mount and dismount the saw, it sets up in seconds and it's aligned perfectly every time. This is a great beginner welding project and a great DIY do it yourself welding project so you can get dual uses out of your band saw tool. I give you all the dimensions you need to build this in your workshop and I also show you how I wired everything up.

A real easy fix that I did on all my drill press and dust collector, and such. I bought a cheap foot pedal from Amazon, it does exactly what he's doing but it's already done for you. You plug into the foot pedal foot pedal plugs into the wall. When you're ready to operate it, you push the pedal with your foot. This is really convenient for drill presses because if you ever got a piece of metal caught in the drill press your reaction is to hang on to it and if you let go it's going to cut you. Whereas all you got to do is lift your foot up and the machine shuts off.

Brandon, I bought a similar table from "Swag Offroad" probably 5 or 6 years ago. I never even thought of building one myself, but yours is every bit as good! I also bought a foot pedal switch from him. The saw plugs into the foot switch, then the switch plugs into a wall outlet. I have mine on a small table stand. I agree with you in that I find this one of the most useful things in my shop! I use it all the time! Nice job on yours!

Can't imagine where your getting a whole bag of shoulder bolts cheap but it certainly isn't in Missouri! I can't find cheap shoulder bolts anywhere, not even on the internet! I DO love your video's though Brandon. and never miss one of your posts! In a similar vein, as a person who can appreciate the value of Harbor Freight nearly as much as I do, you may see the value in this idea. It's awesome that you leave links to all the Evolution tools, TransSteel welder, and other top of the line tools you use, but realistically, the lion's share of us can't afford or even justify that level of investment to get started in our garages and workshops. Were for the most part hobbyists, backyard mechanics and wannabee's with champagne taste and beer budgets so if there's any suggestions for secondary choices of tools on a budget, you'd make a LOT of guys & gals really happy to get an alternative suggestion from someone who really knows the difference between budget tools and trash. Thanks for a great series and hope you never give up un us!

@BrandonLund 2 жыл бұрын

@John Freeman I get my shoulder bolts from Ebay. They seem to have the best price but I've also been told that drill rod from Macmaster Carr works also but I havent tried it. I have to say that I think you might be the first person to ever say that I'm not geared towards a beginner crowd. Sourching out fan requested budget equipment and alternate repair methods are what this channel is founded on. Although I do have some very expensive top end welders, most of my content is devoted exclusively to doing things on a DIY basis using budget friendly tools which includes several videos within the last few months using a $130 dollar Harbor Freight welder. I always include links to whatever equipment I'm using in each specific video along with all the other equipment I own and use. I even did a video where I brought that Harbor Freight welder on a mobile welding job this summer to more recent projects building floating corner shelves using imported multi process welders. I'm guessing you are either a newer viewer or you havent seen those episodes yet. I appreciate you watching and thank you for your support.

Thanks, I'm hunting around youtube for ideas on making a bandsaw stand. But I need it to be all aluminum because I will be pumping water coolant on the blade. I don't need the saw to be easily removeable, except to change blades. I'd need a tub under it to catch the water and return it to the bucket with the fishtank pump. I may have to drill a weep hole in the saw bottom wheel housing and a rider on the blade to squeegee the water a little. A rip fence is a must for mine too. Sorry just thinking out loud here. Nice stand.

@BrandonLund 3 ай бұрын

Not at all, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. I can envision exactly what you are trying to build. Very well thought out and nice touch with the aluminum. You could go stainless too but it's a bit pricy but would wear great on this application.

Thanks for sharing this video! I have the same saw, and I made some angle iron "ears" which pick up the motor housing screws on the handle side of the motor housing. These ears have holes in them which I use to mount the saw to a column structure which I tacked to my welding table several years ago. I made a small saw table which clamps to the saw's foot with a 1/4" - 20 nut. My plan was make an independent stand for this, but you know how it goes - if it ain't broke ... Watching this video sparked some ideas for making a larger saw table which can attach to the angle iron ears, and clamp to the foot.

Great build and great ideas to go off of. One mod that i wouldve gone a different way, is the way that u powered it up. I haven’t made myself a bandsaw table but I have clamped it in a table vise, upside down or sideways so it’s vertical. I also ended up buying a harbor freight footpedal and plugged it into that, and that’s plugged into an outlet. All I did was cut a little piece of wood, kind of a wedge-shaped piece that would be able to go into the handle area on one side and stop at a certain point, bcuz the other side is bigger. But a velcro strap would probably be even better, as the wood piece sometimes would fly out, if the saw got jostled around too much, by myself cutting something in a way that i shouldnt have. Thanks for the ideas and thanks for sharing. Aloha!

@@BrandonLund You're welcome! I'm a machinist myself.. This Jan. I will have been doing this for 25 years. I mainly do programming and seteup for Wire EDM machines now.. So I don't spend a lot of time in the shop.(getting dirty) At home.. I tend to work more with wood. (It helps me keep my sanity) But I consider myself a all around maker and im comfortable working in both mediums. I enjoy creating... And my brain is a sponge.. I soak up as much info as I can. I love to not only learn new things.. But i enjoy seeing other makers methods and comparing them to my own. I Strive to improve my skillset every day.

Hey Brandon just saw your ultimate portable bandsaw stand and I heard you talking about not using oil but I use wax for my blade it protects reduces the heat and keeps the chips kind of at bay and it’s easier to clean up because oil is such a mess

@BrandonLund Жыл бұрын

Great tip! I'll have to give it a try. The blade slips when using oil

Brandon, i just used a spring clamp from HD that was like 2 bucks. similar build but I opted to just buy a swag table. Sure I overpaid, but at the time I was not in the shop a lot and had to maximize time to make stuff if you know what I mean. I tried a velcro strap initially but after a while it got a little grease and dirt in it and was not as able to stick together

@BrandonLund 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Robert great tip on the spring clamp. I actually like that idea more than the Velcro. Occasionally I do wood projects and Velcro and wood don't mix well. Thanks man!

Hey Brandon! I'm back again to watch this video -- about a month or so later -- and I've just got to stop to tell you that the stuff in your shop is really eye-catching! Right now, I'm really diggin' your DIY welding table top for employing clamps and dogs. I recently completed a 98" x 34" welding table because ... well ... we don't have enough room for a "real" welding table. Although I'm pretty happy with the frame and its heavy duty casters, the 8" flat - 2" gap - 8" flat table top design didn't come out the way that I'd like it to be: flat (as in it isn't) 🤣 So good on ya for taking some time to warn folks about warpage during welding. I'm also still lovin' the Fronius "MIG RIG" in your shop! I don't get a lot of interwebs time, but I trust that you've got videos for the welding table and that nice bench grinder stand, aye?

@@BrandonLund Man, Brandon, I pulled a real dumb arse move. I based everything I did with the table top from the center of the grey metal motor housing adjacent to the blade. What I didn't do was take into account that the blade itself is offset! In other words, I marked out everything from the center of the table top plate outward, so now that the saw fits nicely onto the "tip" that I oh so carefully cut into the table top, the blade itself is off-center ... okay, go ahead and laugh ... I would.😂 Alright, now that you've wiped the tears of laughter from your eyes, show a brother fabber some kindness and please tell me that you know how far off-center the blade is? In other words, how far from the center of the motor housing does the blade actually cut? Obviously, it was my bone head move and my responsibility alone. I'm just hoping that you know how much steel I'll have to add the the "short side" of the table top to make things right again. Many thanks in advance for any thoughts about this. By the way, this is what my fingers look like right now >>>🤞

if you design a stand for your chop saw, add on an adjustable stop so you can make repeatable cut lengths without measuring each one. simple and efficient.

This is really cool. For mine I used 2inch square tube for a frame that can mount in a receiver hitch, then took a drop of 4 inch square tube and cut out a hook that grabs the handle, then made a plate welded to the frame that engages the bolts on the back of the bandsaw when it's hanging and cut to the right length that the table sits relatively level. Found a switch/outlet combo and mounted it into the 2 inch square tube and I use a spring clamp for the trigger. It works great for me

@@BrandonLund I like yours, the table is a great addition and also mine doesn't really have a base I have to mount it into something. I like that you can clamp it or bolt it to your bench. My work truck has a few receivers tho so its convenient in the field but the bandsaw stand wobbles a little if I don't strap it down in one direction. You do what you gotta to get er done.

@BrandonLund 2 жыл бұрын

Thats actually a great idea with the hitch. I could actually build a hitch piece and add a plate to it then clamp this setup to it. I don't do much mobile work but I might actually build this for the few jobs I have it would be handy. Thanks for the idea buddy👍 🙏

I'm where you were you were two years ago, my friend. I've got a new "deep cut" cordless M18 Milwaukee bandsaw that's just "posing" too much for my liking! I got a decent deal on it, but it needs to earn its keep around here, so I'm going to base a vertical stand on your build. Considering the insane prices of raw steel in our wonderful economy, I'd like to request the thickness dimension of the tubing you used for the frame of your stand? What do you think the minimum thickness (and other dimensions) of the frame members should be? How do you like your "vertical bandsaw" now that you've put it through its paces? Please keep on sharing your "regular guy" projects with us! 😁

@BrandonLund 9 ай бұрын

Thanks man. I absolutely love it and wouldn't change a thing on it. All the tubing is 1/8" but only because I had it around. You could go with thinner. HERE IS A CUT LIST: The top plate is 12x15x1/4" the 12" is the depth. The 4 vertical pieces are 1x1x7". The 2 bottom feet are 1x1x16" then slash cut at a 45 degree. The 2 pieces running parallel to the feet which the table sits on are 1x1x10" slash cut at a 45 degree.

Ahhh. Breakfast with Brandon. Loving the phone calls Brandon🤣🤣🤣 Just finishing off my 3rd grinder pedestal. Yep, better than the all in one idea. Only on my first coffee so far though. Still fuzzy🤣🤣 Interested to see what you come up with for the plasma cutter trolley. Built several last year for my welders and plasma cutter, which, I think, turned out pretty good. Like to see what you come up with. Now I might have to buy a small band saw now, just so I can build a stand🤣🤣🤣 Put your little plate on a lanyard. Then it won't mysteriously disappear. They have a tendency to do that😆😆 Nice comment on the Galvinising issue. My first job 40 years ago was welding gal water pipe. Not good stuff. Just through some scary situations I've had over the years, I personally would change that switch to an emergency stop button. Have an ON button as well. If you have your hands full, and something goes wrong, you can bang the knob with you knee or whatever to stop it. Especially if you tend to work alone. (Suggestion..not criticism)Started on my second coffee by now. Starting to think properly now🤣🤣 All in all, I like it Brandon Take care. Waiting for further installments.👍🏻👍🏻 Another enjoyable Saturday morning breakfast date🤣🤣🤣 By the way, you're looking pretty good for 68🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
