DIY Portable Band Saw Wall Mount

- Building a portable band saw wall mount and table, no welding required! I have limited space in my garage and wanted as much versatility as possible from my new Milwaukee 6232. No saw modifications needed and it lifts right off of the mount! This wall mount could be adapted to fit any portable band saw brand. See the links below for the parts and tools I used:

Check the amp rating on that little switch.
@@totallyjonesin I never thought about that, but I've never had any issues with the saw. I have another one in my office, still in the package, it's 15A so I'm good to go! :)
@@Mikeattempts Good to know.
I like this, not overly done and very practical.
Thanks, it's still working great over 3 years later! :)
Very nice design. You could use a revision to make the shoe easily removeable as it will get in the way when using the saw out of the cradle. I'm sure you could come up with something.
Thanks! I rarely use it out of the cradle but, when I do, the shoe hasn't been an issue. Blade changes are easy too since it doesn't need to be removed.
Been thinking of a wooden version as I don't weld either. This gives a great starting point. Nicely done!!
Thanks for watching!
I like the way you mounted this to the wall with just extra wood scraps you had around. Because of my lack of space in my garage I built a stand for bench and it screws to it securely. But yours is great if you have the space.
I feel limited on space too which is why I decide to mount it to the wall rather than buying or building one of those popular tiny tables that the saw mounts to. Thanks for watching!
This is great. I've been looking to do the same. While I have welding equip. I'm not a great welder; however, the bigger issue is that my local scrap yard no longer pulls out the useful steel(s) to sell 'retail'. That was my go-to spot for projects as buying new material is pricey for things.
the wall mount idea is perfect for my needs. The 20yo. old milw. bandsaw is heavy AF.
Thanks for taking the time to create this and share.
I agree, I have a hard time finding good scrap steel for smaller projects. Thanks for the comment! :)
Pretty sweet contraption. One recommendation i would make is that instead of the switched plug, i would plug the saw in to a foot pedal so you can turn it on/off without needing a hand to do so.
The foot switch was my original plan and the only reason I went with the switched plug was because it saved me around $10... I'm frugal. ;) Thanks for watching!
What an awesome job man! For those looking to do this, the Porter Cable Porta Band is way easier to attach to the plate.
Yeah, I assume you could use a similar method to make a wall mount for any portable bandsaw. The shape of the tool might be different but the method for creating a wall mount is the same. Thanks for watching!
That is exactly what I was looking for! I have no welding equipment, and there sure are a lot of metal stands out there. So much thanks for uploading a non-welding guide for such a stand.
I'm glad the video was helpful, thanks for watching!
This is excellent ! Heading over to buy one of these. This will solve all my steel tube cutting problems
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for posting. This idea will help my small space situation.
Thank you for watching and commenting! :)
This is a great, simple solution. Nice work Mike!
I really appreciate the positive feedback. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the simple design.
Thanks for watching! :)
Very slick! Economical, easy, effective, thanks for sharing that build.
Thanks for the nice comment and thanks for watching!
Mike I think you need to invest in a drill\counter sink tool. ;-)
Hahaha, I couldn't agree more! I've since purchased a few actually. :)
SUPER :)! I enjoyed your details like how thick the wood or the holes are. Thanks! :)
Thanks for watching! :)
I just bought one of these saws and will be building one of these but turned 90 degrees.
I need to take nail heads off pallet runners. So I need to push the board parallel to the wall to accommodate the board length.
Ahh, I see what you mean. All you should need to do is build a stand-off out from the wall a bit and then mount to the side of that. Let me know how it turns out!
lots ways to do this ! I can place the center portion of handle on my Milwaukee 6230 in my 8 inch bench vice letting end of motor housing rest on top of vice body for similar end result ; )
Yep, whatever gets it done! :)
Thank you for this. You made it simple & easy 👏
I'm glad the video was helpful, thanks for the comment! :)
I've watched em all and this is the best
I know there are a lot of DIY portable bandsaw mount videos so I really appreciate the comment, thanks for watching! :)
Now this is more like it.
Thanks for watching!
very nice job, I need to build one too.
Thanks for watching!
Good idea; good execution. Thanks.
I appreciate the comment, thanks for watching!
I liked this video, clear imaging and easy to follow descriptions of the build. Have now subscribed to your channel.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Mike such a nice idea compared to the welding method I'm gonna try that with mine I've got a harbor freight Bower unit so I will see if mine can be kinda done on the same principle I'm sure it can most all them saws are all about the same
Yeah, you shouldn't have any trouble making it work for the HF saw. Let me know how it goes!
Simple and nice I like it
Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Fast and simpel 👍🏻
Thanks! :)
Maybe radius the corners of that aluminum plate. Could be an ouchy!
I haven't had any issues yet, but I see what you mean. The plate is tick enough that none of the corners are sharp but it would be easy to round 'em off.
That's slick! Is it possible to change the blades without taking off your table? Other setups i have seen, the slot on the table traps the blade inside and the table is required to be removed to change the blade. Thanks for sharing!
Yep, that's why I put the cut in the table facing out. That way I can change the blade without removing the table. Thanks for watching!
Excellent
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Is that a zune in the back? Awesome.
Hahaha, yep, a Zune 30! I was wondering how long it would take someone to notice and even know what it was. Thanks for the comment, made my day! :)
Hey Mike Do you have a drawing of the angles or degrees of the two triangle pieces of plywood?
No, I don't have the angles because I was just winging it during the build. I was trying to show that you could use the same methods to create a similar wall mount for any brand of portable band saw. I can try to get the angles off of it now but they would only be useful if you have the same exact model Milwaukee saw.
@@Mikeattempts ok thanks
What size bolts to mount to replace ahoe
I should know but I can't remember, this project was almost 3 years ago. I just took the original screws to the hardware store with me to buy the new ones. Sorry, I couldn't be more help.
What is the size of the table???
The table is 6 inches deep and 8 inches wide. You could make it larger, I was limited by the size of the material I was working with.
@@Mikeattempts Awesome thanks...
That's kinda what I guessed in my head..
What thickness is the table?
I think it's 1/4" but, depending on the type of metal use, many thicknesses would be acceptable.
What size did you make the table?
The table is 8 inches wide and 6 inches deep.
@@Mikeattempts thank you Mike!
I got something WAY easier than this. Get an angle iron. Drill an 8-32 clearance hole where the LED screws are. Clamp angle iron to side of table. Install portaband saw to angle iron with a slightly longer 8-32 screw. Done. Instant Vertical Band Saw.
Whatever works! :)
Do you have a video to show how to do this?
