Hello,
I'm looking at purchasing a bandsaw (hacksawing blade steel gets old really fast :( ). The HF 4x6 bandsaw is in my price range, and comes highly recommended. However, I can't figure out how this bandsaw is used in the "vertical' configuration. I'm going to be using this for cutting blade blanks out of stock, and I just haven't been able to figure it out... :confused:

I'm probably stupid, but can someone explain this to me?
 
it flips up, then you remove the vice and stuff, then sit on the deck. There is a little plate that screws to the bearing guides on the one side, I have the same saw and love it. It is not the best you have to go slow but get a nice lenox diemaster fine tooth blade and it will serve you well.
 
Most take that little plate off and make them a larger one to give you more space to lay your work on while you are sawing it out. The plate I HAVE ON MINE IS 6" BY 10" MIKE
 
When it's vertical there is a pin that goes in to lock it upright. You can swap that for a nut and bolt for more security if you like.
 
I remove the bandsaw from the table by removing the large pin. I also removed the switch and wiring. I then made a couple of brackets and bolted them to the a table and then remounted the saw and installed the electrical. If you want I can post some pictures. The table was another HF tool stand. It works really well.
