DIY Dewalt portable band saw table

[@thomaswunsch12]

The vertical adjustment is smart imo, love it !!

[@maximilianoesteban8740]

That is the best build I have seen for a band saw stand so far. Very good workmanship and it is shocking that he can be so productive in what appears to be the most disorganized and cluttered shop I have seen.

[@docjfnoel]

Lol thanks for your comment. You should see my shop right now…it's even worst.

[@puddytat62]

Disorganized means you’re creative Very common to be a bit cluttered for a creative mind.

[@joelahale]

Nice Job! One of the best tables found on the Tube.

[@cubano678]

Love the fact that you used the saw as you built the stand. Brilliant...

[@Sulkanator]

I said the same thing to myself.

[@dominicmarcoux3726]

Beau travail Jean-François, j'ai regardé plusieurs vidéos du même genre et j'aime bien ta Base de scie. Elle est simple et pas trop compliquée à réaliser. J'aime aussi le fait que la table de coupe soit vissée à la scie et non pas prise en serre.

[@docjfnoel]

Merci! Très apprécié. Et je confirme : elle fonctionne très bien!

[@marshallborges9606]

Beautiful job! Don't grind your welds - take pride on your work.

[@jakespede7540]

Nice build and a great design. Simple and effective.

[@fespinosa434]

Gracias por el video. Me gusto como sujeto el plato de metal a la haramienta. Buen video.

[@captspaulding987]

Excellent video, thanks for sharing

Mucho muy bueno amigo practico económico y fácil y muy resistente el mejor que he visto en you tube gracias por compartir

[@stevelawrence2546]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing. I'm going to build mine soon.

[@rodneyvaughn]

Nice work, thanks for posting!

[@KUGW]

cool video, I'm going to be making one soon and doing a video on it as well, nice to know others have made their own

[@vaughnwesterby5162]

Excellent! 👍🏻

[@puddytat62]

Wondering if it’s better to have the blade slot from the front rather than the back. Lots of disassembly to just change a blade. Mind you the pre made tables have slots in the back. Your thoughts?

[@moisesmarquez9775]

Thank you for a great instructional and functional video ! Was going to buy the Swag but after seeing this will build my own . Will subscribe . What size thickness was the top plate ?

[@johnmunoz8845]

I want one! Lol! Nice work

[@williamogilvie6909]

C'est bien!

[@troystin1870]

thanks for this vid it was very helpful

[@Jozomo]

With all that saw dust and wood laying in shop, I do hope you have a fire extinguisher and insurance. Good job

[@docjfnoel]

You’re right!

[@pgsibilo]

Awesome 👍👍👍

[@rnr4real]

i am late getting to the party, but nice detailing the build

[@handdr.7015]

Very goooood idea~

[@f1mikeyboy]

Thanks for the video. Just curious if the tool is back heavy on the stand, and was wondering if it needs to be mounted to a bench?

[@existircuantico7141]

What dewalt bandsaw model is that? Its awesome!

[@docjfnoel]

Thanks! It's the D28770

[@btoag6838]

You did a great job fabricating the band saw table. Thank you for sharing your work on the tube Sir. If able, can you please explain your process for marking the band saw screw holes to the metal plate? I know there's little room for error in marking and getting the holes on the plate to align perfectly to the existing threads on the band saw. I'd like to fabricate one of my own. I already own a band saw and I know having this set up will make life easier when cutting smaller parts. first time on your channel and I'm already a subscriber. I hope to see more of your work posted. Greetings from Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico.

[@docjfnoel]

Thanks! The screws go into mobile bolts in a slot on the table (because the original little plate is a moving part) so the precision is not too crucial.

[@puddytat62]

I’ve watched a ton of these retrofit band saw tables and came up with a very similar design. Even the feet!! But I’ll add adjusting rubber feet underneath those flanges. Surprised you did t buy the King Canada saw. Much cheaper than Dewalt Personally think they’re all made in the same warehouse

[@docjfnoel]

Thanks! I had a good deal on this used Dewalt 😉

[@puddytat62]

You’re also the only person to use the contour gauge. That’s unique. I’m shooting for 14x16. Think that’s decent enough for wider material

[@dmgmail7021]

Beautiful work, thank you for this video. I was wondering how you adjusted the bandsaw on the table to get 90...was it the set screw that was off center of the 2 mounting screws? May I also know the silver paint you went with?

[@docjfnoel]

dm gmail yes I tapped a hole for another adjusting screw (13:10) to square the table. I bought the Rustoleom metal paint at the hardware store.

[@TheMoomba19]

Nice work. I saw you tapped a hole in the table for squaring it to the blade. What did the screw press against underneath to move the table? Additionally, you tightened the two screws that holds the saw to the table. Have you had any issues with the table being skewed because of those two screws? And (I'm full of questions because I just purchased this saw and am about to build a table myself) have you given any thought to developing a miter-cut fence system to the table? I have a large floor model band saw that is able to cut angles but takes two men and a boy to set it all up. Thanks.

[@bodine46]

Would you happen have a template of the top. Thanks

[@bobfalk2896]

I would like to build a similar table. Do you feel that the two screws holding the table on are strong enough? Seems like the full weight of the saw on those two screws is too much weight.

[@docjfnoel]

Thanks for the comment! I've been moving the table everywhere in the shop for more than a year and I didn't have any issue.

[@burronorteno]

Does the saw have mounting holes?

[@docjfnoel]

Yes if you remove the little black metal guide you can use the same bolts that are in a track to mount your new plate

[@nokufano]

Great video! I am planning to build someting simillar for my bandsaw too, and this project looks the best so far :D Two years after release, is there anyting you would do differently or are you perfectly satisfied in the way it turned out?

[@docjfnoel]

Thanks! Nothing really to change for my use. Some mentioned the weakness due to only 2 screws but I've never had any problem and I move the saw from place to place in my garage without really taking care…

[@chancetolbert4852]

What size screws?

[@pappaclutch3266]

Cool except you blocked most of your ability to clamp work to the table with the leg placement and the switch box placement. Otherwise very cool build!

[@docjfnoel]

Thanks for your comment! I usually clamp the leg feet on my bench without any problem.

[@pappaclutch3266]

@@docjfnoel oh I meant to clamp work onto the cutting surface of your band saw. You know for repeated cuts and such like a miter guide or saw guide

[@JacobLeeson-zk1ol]

I really don’t like this. Taking a portable saw and making it unportable. These dewalt portable saws are much more expensive than the regular vertical band saws. If you want a permanent vertical bandsaw then buy a cheap one and it’ll be better quality than this and bigger cutting capacity. Stands are good for swapping back and forth. Take it off the stand when needed and use it as portable saw then put it back on when you want stand. Permanently wiring the cord ruins it.

[@docjfnoel]

Thanks for your comment. I really love mine with the stand 😉

[@TobaccoTooling]

Those are very bad welds…

[@docjfnoel]

You're right, my first ones ever 😉

[@truth-ox3wz]

What is the problem, do you not know how to speak....or is just to much work when editing. Everyone thinks they can make YT videos, but some are good and polished and other are just taking up space, and wasting everyone's time. BTW, who did those horrific welds? After making videos for 8yrs and only 303 subs, maybe it's time to retire...lol
