Excellent video!

What kind of pencil lead do you use

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!

Nice one, neat design

Great idea For bandsaw stand!!!

يالله..بعض المبدعين يجعلك تقف احتراما لتفكيرة

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

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

Looks great but having that romex wire exposed is not safe

Kinda takes away from the whole idea of portability doesn’t it?!?!

Maravilha . Brazil

Ever finish this up?

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.

I still haven’t seen a good solution to this on youtube.

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

Weld breaks, tosses his mallet 🤣🤣🤣

Funny, coz when you started welding to cast iron I was thinking, that isn’t gonna stick but maybe he’ll be lucky?

Great channel name.

Awesome build: Consider rounding those corners on table,it will look more finished:

So glad to see you didn’t do the usual thing & make the gap wider where the blade passes through. So many others make this mistake & it’s a really bad idea, it basically makes a gap for small pieces to get wedged in. A great build, but I personally would add something to lock it into the channel, if something gets stuck & you try to pull on it the saw will pivot & pull with it. Just a small detail, but worth considering in my opinion. I might have to copy this build for the saw I just bought, up until now the best one I’d seen was Quinn’s on Blondihacks.

Very helpful - thanks!

Why not the kerf to the front? Easier to replace the blade.

I liking it! I may do this but use aluminum for the plate.

*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.*

good job

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?

👍👍👍

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.

Now imagine manufacturers actually designing these things, so we don't have to.

Good job ! Nice

What is the name of this "tap holder" you're using at 9:21?

great build

Best stand I've found for a DeWalt so far. Good job. A simple bench top stand is what I need.

Best one ive seen

Replacing the hand grip with the bracket is an awesome idea. First time I've seen that done!!

great video hats off on repurposing the old rotor

how u change your saw ? i think you table cut line must be front side. but good video tnx.

I have the same lathe. Q: the large piece where the belt goes is there a brass bushing, mine has. A lot of play and clatters when I run it. Can it be replaced?

I think this idea the best

Don't be too sad, but it's so funny.. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.. -.-;;;

Don't throw out the old front spindle bearing unless you already have. Those things are virtually indestructible, but they need the lone shield removed and an eternity of soaking in gasoline to free up.

I'm stuck trying to remove the nut lol

Did you blanche the carrots before julienning or after?

Really liked the editing you did here. Showing it at 2x or 4x the normal speed worked well. Nice work!

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.

Hello, Clayton--here from KZbin Machinists Group. Always glad to support a new channel.

Looks great.

Why can I not be this lucky to find a Logan lathe in a scrapyard???...... I wish.... You're gonna have a badass machine when it's all done, goodluck

Nice job and video. Clever use of the lighter spring :)

Very nice job, when you tell people you pulled this from a scrap yard and show them the picture they aren't going to believe you!!
