Thanks for the video and sharing the design. So you or anyone reading is aware, the step file you shared for the top hanger "saw handle 6" is a mirror image of what is needed and shown in your video. It is also the single piece design, which is fine by me. I'll go and reprint it as a mirror and look forward to trying it out.

Nice. Now if only I had a DeWalt saw. One suggestion - take the plate you removed from the saw and screw it to the mount so you can always find it later if you need it.

that is a good idea what I’m currently doing is using a zip tie and attaching it to the trigger Thank you for sharing and thank you for taking the time to comment

Silly me, I left that little blade guard on the saw and longer screws to account for the added depth of the new table. So I don’t lose the shorter screws, I drilled, countersunk and tapped horizontal holes out of the way in the back edge of the new table to park the original screws when they not in use. I made these holes deep enough to insert the longer screws so I have a place to park them if I use the saw without the table. If I want to take the saw down and use it without the stand, I don’t have to go looking for the blade guard and original screws and I can park the longer screws in the table so I can find them when I rehang the saw.

Now, if only I had a 3D printer … I did basically the same thing, but I used a block of wood and did a lot of carving 😉 Thanks for the video!! These saws are so handy, mounting them makes them so much more useful!!

I tried replying to your last comment, but for some reason I couldn’t you had a great idea with the extra long screws and clamping it to the bottom side of the plate Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated. Ray

@@shopandmath The KZread gods are at it again, it would seem! Thanks! I just didn’t want to lose the plate, so a “Plan B” was needed 🤣🤣 Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!!

Really liked this idea and design. Got myself a portable bandsaw a couple weeks back to be used in my tiny sheed im setting up and i want it eithee wall mounted or bench mounted and seeing as i have a 3d printer this is an easy and cool way of doing it. Now i have a different brand of saw but i might be able to use this design anyway, best case it work, worst case i will waste a couple of bucks 8n filament. And if it doesnt fit i can try use this as inspiration and try make my own cad dedign for my saw model. Again great video.

that’s awesome. If you get one done, send me a photo. If you change the design or come up with a different concept, let me know. I have a Milwaukee one that I’ve just not have time to make yet and looking for a different concept. One of the things I’m going to do on the Milwaukee one is Add a light and a magnifying glass Best of luck and happy 3-D Printing

Great video!

What I have is a Milwaukee Deep Cut corded band saw. I also bought a Swag bandsaw table many years ago. Not too happy with the table and really like what you had done with the Dewalt. Keep up the great videos and Happy New Year.

Favourite part was when you said - "you shouldn't do this, but.." 😀

honestly jon, I don’t know I recently purchased a new printer, a K-1 Max and it took me about five hours to print everything on my old machine. It probably would’ve taken about 7 to 12 hours for each piece. You can print it and see if it works There may be a possibility for us to do some kind of collaboration Let me know if this works for you or not I’m interested Thank you for your comment Ray

Ray, I want to saw something nice before I provide any negative critiques,... so I'll say I love that you're a fellow Canadian and that you work in a teaching capacity because that experience clearly comes across in your videos. BTW, ever notice that Canadians are more likely to use the brand name magic marker" to refer to the generic product the felt tipped pen, while americans are more likely to say sharpie? So complaint number one, I've got a Milwaukee saw like so many others too. In fact I have 3 portable Milwaukee bandsaws. One reason for the number of saws was to address the potential desire to dismount a saw quickly for use in the field. Years ago I looked at the many different styles of conversions and decided to go with a table mount over the wall mount, because we were also planning a welding table and because we mostly needed to cut long lengths of structural tubing for our welding projects and wanted to have option to add external supports for long tube. I designed a similar table to that used by @brianoltrogge. I ended up with a very rigid and stable mount with a two external tables that mounts to our welding table when needed for projects which have a lot of cutting. These mount to the grid in our welding table and dismount in seconds, but the table plate does take a bit longer to remove from the saw hence the decision to just leave it attached to the saw. Depending on a person's shop set up I'm sure that external work supports could be added to a wall mounted saw as well. It doesn't in our shop where wall space is at premium. Complaint number 2, I don't like your idea of break away parts. This comment just makes me think that as a designer that you just wanted to say that "yes this part may break because it is 3D printed". It makes me think that as a designer you were too lazy to address potential issues beyond adding the structural bolt. Adding the bolt actually negates any benefit you try to imply by having break away plastic parts. Additionally, it is easily possible to design the plastic printed parts to be strong enough that they will not break even under significant loads. Beyond using stronger print settings, redesign the plastic parts so that the projections are either shorter and wider, and or they are reinforced with structural elements. For instance, the EL shaped portion on the upper mount that keeps the saw retained in the bracket should have a short projection and the entire red part should be much wider to make full use of the available width of the handle. This yields a much stronger part. Then the long projection of the red part should be thinner but supported with 3 long bolts to secure it to the backing block. The same should be done with the side projections of the lower mounting block... and if I was really concerned about the gorillas working in the shop whacking my saw mount I'd print the improved (but smaller) parts with solid infill so that post processing with in salt remelt could be applied to achieve a much higher tensile strength on the parts. OR better yet, I'd just print those parts with the polycast filament, and then use that as pattern to cast the part in aluminum.

thank you for contributing you bring up some very valid points The unit is quite strong, but the sudden shock will snap the plastic. I could’ve easily made it out of carbon fibre or ABS. I am by no means of designer that’s why added the little section on where I was thinking and what I wanted the result to be I don’t think this would work in a welding shop to be honest I was thinking more for home use. I’ve had it in my place for about 2 1/2 years now and only decided to do the video when I came across the second saw on Facebook marketplace for $100 and it’s Christmas time and I made it for my buddy Rob thank you for your comment and your feedback. Merry Christmas. Ray

I wish the Bauer had a handle more like the Dewalt. That's a better grip than the knob the Bauer has.

Is there any way you care share pdf plans if one did not have a 3D printer they could still make it? Thanks

I've been thinking about getting one of these portable saws for this very reason. Nice work. Is there any chance you could repost the file for the 3D printed squareness comparator? I finally have access to a printer and would like to whip one up
