New Shop Tool
« on: November 19, 2012, 11:23:00 PM »
Been wanting a bandsaw for my knife shop. I went with using a Milwaukee Porta-band and stand that makes it bench set or mount. Check out pics

Let us know how you like it.
I like new tools, most of mine predate me.

Been using one of those i built an upright stand for a few years now. One of the handiest tools in my shop. Was thinking of getting another to put a courser blade on....  You won't be disappointed.

Robin the stand was made by SWAG Offroad from Oregon City, Oregon out in your part of the country.  www.swagoffroad.com  They make other innovative tools and products.

That's pretty cool.  I have a craftsman 10" bandsaw that I use all the time.  I can't find any blades to fit it for cutting metal though.  What does a setup like this run?  It looks like it would be a little more economical than a full size band saw.

Thanks for the link Dan. The other table Swag offers would work for me, I have lots of leather tools set up for clamping in a big vise.

Matt,
    The Milwaukee porta-band was 249.00 from Northern Hydraulics. The stand and accessories was just over 200.00. What I like is both the stand and the saw are portable.
