I may have posted this before.
I decided to improve the working height of my H/V Bandsaw. At 24" it was a pain in the back to work with it. It had always been a problem with long stock to keep it level with the cutting surface. After this mod I will be able to use one of my roller work stands. Much better...
I had picked up 30 sticks of used 2 x 2 x 1/8th wall x 100"lg. sq. tubing so I made the new table out of a stick and a half of that. I know it's a little overkill for something like this but, at 7 bucks a stick, I can justify the 10 dollar material cost.




I used some brush on industrial red enamel I had left over from another project. It was very hot and humid when I painted this and it took a full day for it to tack-off and get solid enough to put on a second coat. Once it was dry though it is VERY tough paint...
This was after the first coat.

After the second coat

Added the casters and let it sit in the sun for a day to bake. The paint got real hard after this.


I didn't get any pics of the mounting tabs before I bolted the saw down but I made some angle brackets and bolted those to the top to use as mounting lugs for the original sheet metal leg attachment holes on the saw. Worked well, as I set the saw in place and then marked and drilled the thru holes for three 1/4-20 bolts. The saw is nice and stable and rolls around much easier now.

And let me tell you it is very nice not having to bend over to set up cuts!

Thanks for looking
