    My Portable Band Saw Stand!! Lucious!!

    Had this project on the back burner for awhile. Since I have been unable to ride, i have been spending some time under the helmet(welding), honing my skills just stacking beads, and more beads. Playing with a few different size 7018's, and some 6010 doin some whip and pause for fun. Lots of different amperages, and techniques. Then I started laying some flux core beads, and said what the hey, lets finish the saw stand!! Design has changed a bunch. Lots of fab time getting it plum and level, shims here and there. This was my final design. I welded it up with stick on the saw holder, and the flux core for the table legs didnt feel like changing the spool and hooking up the gas. the settings on the lincoln are not infinate, so you get what you get. High setting was just alittle hot for the 1" sqare stock, but the next lower setting was just slightly cold, so I just used the hotter setting. came out Alright! 4 screws hold the table down, remove them and the saw comes right out! no mods to the saw other than removing the guide and mounting a spacer to shim up the table.

    that odd looking thing is the head for my tire removing tool. the old crappy surface welds I laid on it a few years ago let loose on a stubborn tire lol! I now know what a burned in weld looks like! surprised it held up as long as it did!






    I will get a few pics of it apart and painted up purdy, so if your interested check back for the finished pics. thanks for looking!!

    yeah Jay, older model deep cut! Just put a hot lookin coat of RED on it, looks sweet, get a few pics up later. got to dress up a few edges with some moulding, and some padding where the saw rests! If any of you own one of these type saws and may be interested in making one I will gladly share the dimensions/plans!

    gonna rig up a switch to the frame tomorow, still want to be able to unplug the saw and remove for regular use. probably put a short cord off the saw plugged into a switched recepticle mounted to the frame somewhere. was also gonna add some feet, but as it sits its rock solid with no wobble, so we shall see!

    LOl Bill!! believe it or not, that fan is rediculously powerful!! They are german made fans from large elecrical equipment. I will have to get the specs, but they move some air!! I got about 8 of them lol. I was surprised, i get next to no smoke build up in the basement! Laying continuous 10-12 " beads with the 6010 seemed to be the smokiest, but even that was not bad. I am planning on a hood, and another fan mounted next to that one. should be awsome! Just havnt gotten to it!
