I have searched this forum and can't find what I am looking for. A couple months back someone posted a picture of a stand they made to make a portable bandsaw stationary.

Harbor freight has their portable on sale and I have a 20% off coupon

Does anyone have a pic of a stand they made for a portable?


Thanks for any help.
 
All you have to do is remove the upper handhold. Use the handhold to lay out holes onto a bar of steel 1 1/2" X 1/4" X 8". Do that on one end of the steel. Use the screws that held the handhold on to fasten the bar. I just put the end of the bar in my bench vise and its ready to go.
 
Thanks for the post on the sale.

I'm heading out there tomorrow!

Where did you get the 20% coupon?......if you don't mind me asking.

It was on the sale flyer I got the other day, It said my subscription was about to expire.
 
make sure the braces are positioned so as to grant you access the lower "cover" screw. It can be seen in one of the pic's

Good Tip, Bought the saw today, 20% off the sale price and a $45 gift card and the saw cost me $10!

Actually 10 bucks is what they should cost not on sale. I guess I've had mine now about 5 months and it still is working and its working pretty well. I had a Milwaukie portaband for 11 years and just couldn't do without it but but this HF model so far has been a good replacement. I'll be happy if it makes it a year. :D
 
Just wondering if you would be interested in building one of these stands for me.
I would be interested in buying one I don't care about the paint.
If you have web site let me know

Thanks
 
I dont suppose anybody would have blueprints for the harbor freight stand? Im looking to build my own and trying to put together a materials list. Kinda hard to do when you dont know how much you need.
