Anyone made one and have pictures of how they mounted it? I remember seeing them on ebay a few years ago but I didnt have a bandsaw at the time and I cant find it now. I want to make a table for the bandsaw and probably clamp it into the vice on my workbench. I was thinking about using the 3 bolts that hold the flat guide on but I dont thing that would be enough to support the weight of the saw. Anyone got any ideas?

Take a look at the Milwaukee table here: (Scroll down)

My buddy has one, and it works pretty well. You remove the 2 bolts that hold the upper handle on and use them to attach it to the table.

I just sold my Milwaukee with the table, the arm fastens with 1 screw but the arm has a grove and the saw a key so they fit together tight. I suggest you go to a tool store and closely look at the milwaukee stand before you build your own, it will make your job much easier.

If you have a PC, metabo, or older dewalt with the motor sticking out the side portaband PM me I can hook you up way cheap for a stand

I just bought a Kama and for stationary work it totally kicks ass

I wasnt talking a stand to make it into a cut off saw. I want to use it as a vertical bandsaw.
