[Chiquita]

I have a Milwaukee portable bandsaw and want to turn it into table top saw. Has anyone used this or have recommendation for other jigs?

Thanks

Not much precision or capacity in a small saw like that. Depends on your needs. My neighbor just added a DoAll to his shop. It's a small DoAll, maybe 25 inches. I'll do my vertical cuts on his saw.

AFAIK, Swag converts it to a table style bandsaw.

I don't need a shop grade.

I have the kit and it works great except for not having a stand. but I clamp it in my bench vise to hold it.

Actually, I am currently working on turning my Milwaukee portable bandsaw into a combination 'miter saw' and mini table saw. Since I am using scrap aluminum it progresses as resources become available. Currenly I'm lacking a large enough sheet to cover the miter table top. Nonetheless I plan on have the frame/hinge/minitable top completed this week, and as such, it should be fully functional. As mentioned there are a number of commercial products available, e.g. SWAG, Zilla, or Portaband Pro, but I enjoy DIY projects
