Portable Bandsaw Base

[Crusty]

It's just rigid enough while not too heavy to tote.

I made a platen yesterday for vertical use and I can tell that it's going to make my sabre saw collect rust now, plus it's gonna get used in horizontal cutoff mode a lot too. I wire tied the trigger down and plugged it into a foot switch for more convenient and hands off operation.

I'll take it apart this week, cut off some of the square corners so it looks better, clean it and paint it. But first I have a crane to mount in my pickup to put an end to moving steel by Manuel Labor.

ETA: While mounting my pickup bed hoist I needed some spacers to raise the base plate just above the pickup bed's rails so I used my bandsaw in horizontal cutoff mode to slice 4 pieces of water pipe to just the exact right length for spacers and it was done in a matter of a couple of minutes. This thing's going to be really useful.
