A real easy fix that I did on all my drill press and dust collector, and such. I bought a cheap foot pedal from Amazon, it does exactly what he's doing but it's already done for you. You plug into the foot pedal foot pedal plugs into the wall. When you're ready to operate it, you push the pedal with your foot. This is really convenient for drill presses because if you ever got a piece of metal caught in the drill press your reaction is to hang on to it and if you let go it's going to cut you. Whereas all you got to do is lift your foot up and the machine shuts off.

[@BrandonLund]

Great idea!

Great presentation. Greetings from Maine

[@richardhansen469]

Thanks, I'm hunting around youtube for ideas on making a bandsaw stand. But I need it to be all aluminum because I will be pumping water coolant on the blade. I don't need the saw to be easily removeable, except to change blades. I'd need a tub under it to catch the water and return it to the bucket with the fishtank pump. I may have to drill a weep hole in the saw bottom wheel housing and a rider on the blade to squeegee the water a little. A rip fence is a must for mine too. Sorry just thinking out loud here. Nice stand.

[@BrandonLund]

Not at all, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. I can envision exactly what you are trying to build. Very well thought out and nice touch with the aluminum. You could go stainless too but it's a bit pricy but would wear great on this application.

[@thebeardedstork432]

Brandon, I bought a similar table from "Swag Offroad" probably 5 or 6 years ago. I never even thought of building one myself, but yours is every bit as good! I also bought a foot pedal switch from him. The saw plugs into the foot switch, then the switch plugs into a wall outlet. I have mine on a small table stand. I agree with you in that I find this one of the most useful things in my shop! I use it all the time! Nice job on yours!

[@donanderson4697]

I have been following you about 6 months now and like that I pick up tips I use at my job. I'm looking to build a garage soon and this welder would be a perfect tool to put in it. Thanks

I know this is an older video and outside it's a crappy day, so I'm cruising You Tube for ideas. I had just watched a guy on YT but he made his table very small but he did remember to add that little piece before he cut the top. And so I remembered your video, so watched it again.

My SWAG bandsaw stand uses a similar mounting method (hooks into the motor vent and uses a knob that threads into the sliding guard) but also uses set screws in a couple of places that allow you to dial in the blade angle perfectly.

[@BrandonLund]

[@6980869]

Great build and great ideas to go off of. One mod that i wouldve gone a different way, is the way that u powered it up. I haven’t made myself a bandsaw table but I have clamped it in a table vise, upside down or sideways so it’s vertical. I also ended up buying a harbor freight footpedal and plugged it into that, and that’s plugged into an outlet. All I did was cut a little piece of wood, kind of a wedge-shaped piece that would be able to go into the handle area on one side and stop at a certain point, bcuz the other side is bigger. But a velcro strap would probably be even better, as the wood piece sometimes would fly out, if the saw got jostled around too much, by myself cutting something in a way that i shouldnt have. Thanks for the ideas and thanks for sharing. Aloha!

I’ve been watching soo many videos about building tables for these and yours seems the simplest and easiest to take off. Which you mentioned in your video as a major component of your idea and how I’d like mine to function, too!

[@ThePadutch]

Can't imagine where your getting a whole bag of shoulder bolts cheap but it certainly isn't in Missouri! I can't find cheap shoulder bolts anywhere, not even on the internet! I DO love your video's though Brandon. and never miss one of your posts! In a similar vein, as a person who can appreciate the value of Harbor Freight nearly as much as I do, you may see the value in this idea. It's awesome that you leave links to all the Evolution tools, TransSteel welder, and other top of the line tools you use, but realistically, the lion's share of us can't afford or even justify that level of investment to get started in our garages and workshops. Were for the most part hobbyists, backyard mechanics and wannabee's with champagne taste and beer budgets so if there's any suggestions for secondary choices of tools on a budget, you'd make a LOT of guys & gals really happy to get an alternative suggestion from someone who really knows the difference between budget tools and trash. Thanks for a great series and hope you never give up un us!

[@BrandonLund]

@John Freeman I get my shoulder bolts from Ebay. They seem to have the best price but I've also been told that drill rod from Macmaster Carr works also but I havent tried it. I have to say that I think you might be the first person to ever say that I'm not geared towards a beginner crowd. Sourching out fan requested budget equipment and alternate repair methods are what this channel is founded on. Although I do have some very expensive top end welders, most of my content is devoted exclusively to doing things on a DIY basis using budget friendly tools which includes several videos within the last few months using a $130 dollar Harbor Freight welder. I always include links to whatever equipment I'm using in each specific video along with all the other equipment I own and use. I even did a video where I brought that Harbor Freight welder on a mobile welding job this summer to more recent projects building floating corner shelves using imported multi process welders. I'm guessing you are either a newer viewer or you havent seen those episodes yet. I appreciate you watching and thank you for your support.

Brandon, i just used a spring clamp from HD that was like 2 bucks. similar build but I opted to just buy a swag table. Sure I overpaid, but at the time I was not in the shop a lot and had to maximize time to make stuff if you know what I mean. I tried a velcro strap initially but after a while it got a little grease and dirt in it and was not as able to stick together

Hey Robert great tip on the spring clamp. I actually like that idea more than the Velcro. Occasionally I do wood projects and Velcro and wood don't mix well. Thanks man!

[@OldSchoolLFCGeezer]

Hey Brandon! I'm back again to watch this video -- about a month or so later -- and I've just got to stop to tell you that the stuff in your shop is really eye-catching! Right now, I'm really diggin' your DIY welding table top for employing clamps and dogs. I recently completed a 98" x 34" welding table because ... well ... we don't have enough room for a "real" welding table. Although I'm pretty happy with the frame and its heavy duty casters, the 8" flat - 2" gap - 8" flat table top design didn't come out the way that I'd like it to be: flat (as in it isn't) 🤣 So good on ya for taking some time to warn folks about warpage during welding. I'm also still lovin' the Fronius "MIG RIG" in your shop! I don't get a lot of interwebs time, but I trust that you've got videos for the welding table and that nice bench grinder stand, aye?

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks man I appreciate it! If you look for my playlist "ultimate tool builds" you will see most of the tool builds you see in my shop, including the fixture table :)

[@OldSchoolLFCGeezer]

@@BrandonLund Man, Brandon, I pulled a real dumb arse move. I based everything I did with the table top from the center of the grey metal motor housing adjacent to the blade. What I didn't do was take into account that the blade itself is offset! In other words, I marked out everything from the center of the table top plate outward, so now that the saw fits nicely onto the "tip" that I oh so carefully cut into the table top, the blade itself is off-center ... okay, go ahead and laugh ... I would.😂 Alright, now that you've wiped the tears of laughter from your eyes, show a brother fabber some kindness and please tell me that you know how far off-center the blade is? In other words, how far from the center of the motor housing does the blade actually cut? Obviously, it was my bone head move and my responsibility alone. I'm just hoping that you know how much steel I'll have to add the the "short side" of the table top to make things right again. Many thanks in advance for any thoughts about this. By the way, this is what my fingers look like right now >>>🤞

This is really cool. For mine I used 2inch square tube for a frame that can mount in a receiver hitch, then took a drop of 4 inch square tube and cut out a hook that grabs the handle, then made a plate welded to the frame that engages the bolts on the back of the bandsaw when it's hanging and cut to the right length that the table sits relatively level. Found a switch/outlet combo and mounted it into the 2 inch square tube and I use a spring clamp for the trigger. It works great for me

@@BrandonLund I like yours, the table is a great addition and also mine doesn't really have a base I have to mount it into something. I like that you can clamp it or bolt it to your bench.

Do you think there are any issues with blocking that slot? There is a spinning fan in there which would require the tab to stay back from, and it blows a pretty strong flow of exhaust air out that slot - is that a cooling air flow for the motor?

I havent had any. Maybe if it ran for hours at a time it might limit cooling but for the cuts i do it has no effect.

Just a suggestion how about using a power strip that has a switch on it Stanley makes one for power tools that has a built-in breaker switch

[@BrandonLund]

Great idea! Less wiring too!

[@bloop6812]

Hey Brandon what model welder is that like just scrolling up or down to switch tanks!

[@BrandonLund]

@bloop68 here is a link if you want to know more about it. It's a TransSteel 2200 with dual gas inputs. Pretty sweet when changing between 2 gasses. All you do it hit a button bit.ly/2X5Q4tF

[@johng5160]

I've been looking at a number of these saw supports/tables and I'm curious... Now that you've used it for a while do you think the table is to big, to small, or just right? I don't recall you mentioning the dims of your table, do you mind sharing? Thank you

[@BrandonLund]

@John G I absolutely love it and I wouldn't change a thing! Well maybe the only thing I would change is I would tack that little plate to the foot of the clamp on the bottom but that's it. The table is roughly 12"x10" and it's the perfect size.

[@johng5160]

@@BrandonLund thank you Sir for the info and for taking the time to reply. Keep up the good work!

[@BrandonLund]

@John G anytime man! Thanks for checking out my vids!

[@beasonwhittington4286]

HarborFreight sells liquid electrical tape. Maybe spray a few coats inside the boxes after you weld it together. I always heat shrink connections as well. Just a suggestion if you get bored on a rainy day.

[@BrandonLund]

Great tip! @Beason Whittington

[@Tanhands36]

I started this build last year but Life interrupted me. I’ll be finishing this up this week.

[@BrandonLund]

@Tanhands right on man! Have fin and enjoy!

[@gsh319]

Great work madman! I see a split left table with a channel guide for a table square to bitch out some angle cuts in your future. Great stuff for your work and channel.

[@BrandonLund]

Right on man! Thank you and great suggestion!

[@LAZYDAYZAHEAD]

Hello Brandon, just seeing you video for the first time. Great ideas. It may have already been mentioned in the comments but as for the little plate the is on top of the screw portion of the Jorgensen clamp, why couldn’t you just tack it on the the valve button that way it will always be in position and it won’t ever get lost. Just sayin.

[@BrandonLund]

Great tip!

[@erniehenshaw4161]

Great Job as usual Brandon.

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks Ernie!

[@jasonbritenriker3833]

Nice build. What is the blade you are using on your chop saw ?

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks man. I use Evolution

[@surow15]

Привет Дружище, давно на You Tube не был! У тебя успех, скоро 50 000👏👏👏Желаю процветания. Пропущенные посмотрю !!!

[@BrandonLund]

Thank you very much! ❤

[@virgilastacy5281]

I will build one like that for sure

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks man!

[@MinionsSmithy]

Very nice build. You did a great job on this build!

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks man! I have waited a while to do this. Im real happy how it came out.

[@MinionsSmithy]

@@BrandonLund I actually found a plug and switch in one for.mine, allowing a single box.

[@BrandonLund]

Great idea!

[@reneemills-mistretta790]

Hi, how thick is the steel top that your using as your fabrication table?

[@BrandonLund]

1/2"

[@bruced1429]

I suspended my saw from the handle in a frame which clamps to my table and the whole unit slides into an old table saw table I cut to fit. works very well. There is no wobble at all. I am sure your design will work well as well.

[@BrandonLund]

Great idea!

[@darrylvohs5526]

I've been thinking the same idea. I'll probably talk to local carpenters and the lumberyard. Having the miter gage would be great.

[@mikemullenix6956]

What is the hold down clamps? On your work table, harbor freight clamp with bolt

[@BrandonLund]

It's a combination of modified vise grips and modified F Clamps with a 5/8" Shoulder Bolt welded to the end. I have a video showing how I built them

[@reinhardburkholder590]

Excellent build, definitely will make one, thanks!

[@BrandonLund]

Glad you like it!

[@derrickrepko1670]

I have the harbor freight Bauer band saw. Do you have a cut list?

[@BrandonLund]

I'm sorry, I don't Derrick but I'll see if I can get you some measurements this week

[@chidofu4922]

Hey Brandon. Really enjoy your channel. This video was a year ago and I don't think I have seen that chop saw/plasma cutting station that you mentioned. Are you still planning on doing one of those? I for one would be very interested in that video. Thanks!

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks man! I still haven't got around to it yet but it's definitely going to be a project coming up right off

[@georgemystakidis635]

Dear Mr Brandon this is an excellent idea. I have a portable bandsaw from Scheppach, it is not as good as yours but it works let's say not very convinient so I have to make you two questions. First how often do you crash your bandsaw blabe because I have an issue with mine machine and second this hole in your machine that you close with your constraction isn't for air circulation? so you have to leave it open? beacause I"d like to make excactly the same construction.

[@BrandonLund]

George, very rarely will the blade stop. As far as the hole, yes it does circulate air and the tab does block some of the airflow. I dont think it will cause any issues. After reading a few of the comments it appears there is a manufactured unit that also uses the air circulation hole which kinda reassures me that airflow won't be an issue.

[@georgemystakidis635]

@@BrandonLund Dear Mr Brandon thank you for your reply , the advice was very helpfull for me, anticipating your new video. Have a nice day.

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks George I appreciate your suport!

[@Jasperhemighty]

To add an idea is to use your vise grip to weld underneath to clamp the saw and release at ease

[@BrandonLund]

Great idea Aaron! Thank you!

[@matdoherty7814]

What kind of try square and bevel gauge are those?

[@BrandonLund]

This amzn.to/3TEsmly but I couldn't find the exact tri square. I've had mine for years. This one is very similar amzn.to/4czC2W3

[@RDAUGIRD]

Nice work. I didn't read all the comments, someone else may have had this same idea. Instead of the loose plate underneath, you could weld it to a hinge so the plate would always be there ready to clamp the foot.

[@BrandonLund]

Excellent tip! 👍

[@MDogg1960]

@@BrandonLund can it be welded to the foot?
