*Phenomenal portaband. Worth the wait in replacing my stolen previous model **MyBest.Tools** Variable speed, with an adjustable governor, adjustable shoe, and locking articulating forward handle. It's beefy, but feels just incredibly well built and solid, will eat through strut, emt, rigid, all thread, whatever, all day.*
Well done! Nice project. Great idea using the heft of the truck rotor as a base. Simpler than others I have seen using that base rotor & the piece of channel. I like the way you keep the weight of the PortaBand off of those 2 screws. So many others miss that important element. 2 screws into a cast magnesium alloy housing concerns me holding the weight of the saw and plate. Even the original SWAG table hangs all that weight from those 2 screws. I did mine a bit differently as a table with 4 legs supported underneath for the weight of the saw. Only the weight of the 10"x10" 1/4" plate on those screws. But I'm in the middle of making a new one and want to use your truck brake rotor and channel idea. Think I'll fab the top of the channel so I can hang my PortaBand w/o removing the handle (hang from the handle). Want to make my new one easier on and off, with as little strain as possible on those 2 screws. THANKS for the great ideas!
Yes that Harbor Freight Hercules is nice, but still a little tough/time consuming to dismantle & use saw portable. I don't wanna give that portability up and I'm always in a hurry ;-) Screw on/off. Trigger mech on/off. Handle on/off etc. I'm gonna invest the time upfront.
Nice job , but the brake rotor is cast iron, that's why it wouldn't weld properly. I like you design however. The only thing I would change is the base material
Brake rotors are typically cast iron which is likely why your weld failed. You can weld cast but it requires pre-heat, post-heat and specific filler rod.
Well if he continues to have a weld problem he could always just bolt the column down with a piece of angle iron. I think it made a nice heavy stand and wish I had the material to adapt mine. I see you can buy a stand but it list for $170! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you used a switch receptacle combo you eliminate a box and the bit of wire. Unfortunately most of theses band saws are for cut off. You can't pass a long wide piece of metal through to rip more than an inch or two off.

how u change your saw ? i think you table cut line must be front side. but good video tnx.
im sorry being a jerk but if you used so much work on theis, the you could just bolt a little circle plate onto the break disc and weld the U chnnel to that the idea is great and perfectly made otherwise

Have tried many of these iterations and went with the Hercules stand from HF. It’s just unbeatable imo.

Replacing the hand grip with the bracket is an awesome idea. First time I've seen that done!!
Excellent video!
Hello, Clayton--here from UA-cam Machinists Group. Always glad to support a new channel.

Great idea For bandsaw stand!!!
Best stand I've found for a DeWalt so far. Good job. A simple bench top stand is what I need.
I liking it! I may do this but use aluminum for the plate.
Nice one, neat design
Awesome build: Consider rounding those corners on table,it will look more finished:
Really liked the editing you did here. Showing it at 2x or 4x the normal speed worked well. Nice work!
Great channel name.
great video hats off on repurposing the old rotor
Weld breaks, tosses his mallet 🤣🤣🤣
Best one ive seen
Very helpful - thanks!
Funny, coz when you started welding to cast iron I was thinking, that isn’t gonna stick but maybe he’ll be lucky?
great build
good job
Good job ! Nice
I think this idea the best
Maravilha . Brazil
What kind of pencil lead do you use
I'm thinking about buying a bandsaw but it needs to be able to cut a block a true 4 X 4 inches. Is this bandsaw capable?
Nice job , but the brake rotor is cast iron, that's why it wouldn't weld properly. I like you design however. The only thing I would change is the base material
Now imagine manufacturers actually designing these things, so we don't have to.
Why not the kerf to the front? Easier to replace the blade.
How would you get the table on then? 🤷♂️
1.) Mount table.
2.) Install blade.
Looks great but having that romex wire exposed is not safe

@@gvet47 Weld a steel foot on the column and bolt it to the rotor.
True. You’d be better off brazing it in that case.
I used to practice my cast iron welding & brazing on old brake discs.
awesome job man. I think that weld broke because the cast iron from the disc doesn't like being mig welded sep to a dissimilar metal.
What is the name of this "tap holder" you're using at 9:21?
👍👍👍

Don't be too sad, but it's so funny.. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.. -.-;;;
I still haven’t seen a good solution to this on youtube.
Did you blanche the carrots before julienning or after?
hahahahaha thats women translation

Kinda takes away from the whole idea of portability doesn’t it?!?!
It comes out easily so it's still portable when needed.
