Clamp setup for Roll In Bandsaw

[GeoBruin]

Shout out to @Sweetcorn for the inspiration and guidance on this project.

I recently acquired a Roll In bandsaw and I wasn't happy with the clamp setup it came with. The factory clamp is almost $200 plus another $200 for the angle plate, so I scrounged an old cast iron angle plate and made up a clamp.

Here's a look at it.

Nice job on the clamp. I bought my Roll-in band saw new in 1986 and still use it daily in my home shop. Love that saw. It’s even inspired two of my friends to get one

That looks great!

Thanks for the shout out.

I found it made a versatile saw even better. Or at least faster to use than the OEM clamp.

They're awesome saws and most people are surprised by the functionality of them.

9" x 14.5" cut capability with adjustable power/gravity feed, the ability to square corner notch cut, use as a regular vertical bandsaw, miter cut, and more in a small footprint package.
