Porta Band Saw project ...

First off I would like to thank Welding Tips and Tricks for this idea !

I also took some time to look at Swag Off road and they have some really neat stuff !!!

    I was considering selling this tool as it always seems to collect dust in a corner but after watching a video I had to build the mount and put it to some use ! This is an old Milwaukee Porta Band Saw it has been sitting in a box since I got the tool , yesterday on a repair was the first time I had ever used it in the months I have owned it. After watching a video and seeing a home made vertical mount built the light in my head went on .

When I built my welding table I added some receivers with the idea that it would be easy to expand it when I  had the space. These attachments turn out to be perfect for all sorts of things and today it is a mount for the porta band project.

My welds on this project are pretty darn good for mild steel so, I can not resist putting a few in this post . Non of these were cleaned up before pictures were taken !



This is a photo of how it attaches to the table .


And the finished mount , the guard will need to be made right but for what I had laying around in the shop I think it is a great finished product, nothing I would or could sell but for my uses it is perfect.





HAPPY WELDING !!!
