DIY angle grinder chop saw stand

[Onefastgsx]

Came across my old chop saw stand in storage I made about 10 years ago. I used to use this a ton to make nice square cuts, back before I owned a bandsaw.
Just thought I'd share for a few laughs lol

If anyone is interested in a commercial version, PAL will be offering one for $25 as of Tuesday.

So other than price what is the advantage to this over one of the portaband setups like from Swag Offroad?

The one posted is for a angle grinder, the swag one is for a portable band saw.

There are other manufacturers that you won't have to pay to have delivered from Canada. Yes, many are out of country. I would love to see the shipping quote from Canada though. For some reason it seems to cost more with our northern neighbors???

Laughs??? Looks awesome.

For $25 I would buy the Princess Auto one.

That's going to come in super useful someday when you have a case-hardened or thru-hardened shaft that you want to cut off squarely....something a bandsaw blade wouldn't touch but the abrasive wheel will go "meh its a standard day's work..."

I agree. The old 14” abrasive chop saws get such a bad rep now that dry cut saws are affordable and commonplace. BUT I will NEVER part with mine for the above reasons.

Here’s my Makita. Bought new in the early 1980’s and still in use.

Just checked......it is $7.89 for me. Put it in the cart to check the shipping charges.

Canada post gives these guys and others fabulous rates for mail orders. That would cost me $35 to ship it next door.

I ordered twenty muffler clamps from Wrench Monkey last week, and that was about eight bucks too.

I made this stand for my chop saw out of a leftover stand from something else. I added the telescoping material support arm. It works very well.

 

[y'sguy]

ndnchf, nice job on the chopper table, very clean re-purpose.

 

[lilredex]

Good job on that stand and "third hand". Get some ball bungee loops to corral those cords.

Here’s the portable stand I built for my Makita dry cut saw.

They are $25 at midnight tonight. Shipping is probably more than that if they still ship to the U.S. Did not see one over at HF, which is unusual.

Maybe I could throw one across the river at Port Huron, if you are around there.

Correction.....it is on sale now!

It shows up as $25 but won’t allow shipping outside of Canada.

Shipping weight on the northern tool stand is nearly a pound lighter in shipping weight than the princess auto stand.

 

[lilredex]

So, did everyone get their stand? Mine arrived yesterday, and I am impressed, so far. Have already started with the improvements that seem obvious....more on that later.

You can used these to cut very hard material that would kill a band saw blade.
Could even cut a ceramic or glass rod with the right cut off wheel
