Looking to get a Milwaukee Portaband. Anyone know of any sales?
Are you sold on milwaukee? I got one of the Bauer ones about a year ago and that thing rocks. They occasionally have them on sale for ~$80

I have found the best thing to do is search for the model you want in Google, and then see what they find in 'shopping'. Sometimes Ebay will have 'fallen off the truck' stuff at a fantastic price. I bought a Milwaukee jigsaw from there...legit and relatively cheap.
Another option is to use brickseek.com.
Why specifically Milwaukee? Which model are you wanting (model # is best). Be sure to check for throat depth (bring the jokes)...I think I went with DeWalt because the red one was only 2.5" or so in depth...that may have changed by now though.

Heck of a deal there...if it lasts more than 3 months. <throwing shade>
I bought the SWAG vise clamp table...which is awesome, but there are many home-made versions that are pretty awesome too.
Adding a foot pedal was a great thing for me (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EF9D2DY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1) <-- that one is probably a high $$$, but it's been perfect and is well built.

x2 on the foot pedal. I also got the swag table (https://www.swagoffroad.com/SWAG-V30-Portaband-Table_p_55.html) and put it on a miter saw stand. Makes it really comfortable to use and also easy to disassemble and pack away

Yeah, I am torn on the table versus the vise mount...I like being able to grab the thing, clamp it down, do my cuts, and then put it away...but the table might be nice too. I suppose you could clamp the table in a vise???
I wish they had a quick release mount versus a few screws, which are hard to get to and to position without a helper.

That's my only complaint about my vise mount... no quick disconnect

This looks good, thanks. I'm not stuck on Milwaukee. When I looked at the swag table for some reason I had it stuck in my that it only worked for Milwaukee's.

The problem is by the time you buy the saw, stand, grip vise and shipping your pushing $800.

I was thinking to build your own...based on that as a concept. Then it'll only cost you $3k at your normal hourly rate ;)
For $800, I bet you can buy a used big band chop saw....but I wouldn't bet much.
HF has a big one for $279

I've seen some single phase ones on FB marketplace for far less than $800. And they would work better I'd imagine.
Nothing beats a horizontal bandsaw for cutting stock materials!

Exactly....if I had known how cheap they are, and how much a chop saw sucks, I would have gotten one a long time ago.
The cold saws are awesome too...but for the lazy person, horizontal bandsaws are perfect. The ones I'm seeing also have a table capability, but it looks awkward to use with the big stand directly in front of it.

I have one and have not used it for years. At first it was the greatest thing since sliced butter. Then other tools have started taking its place. The accuracy and depth of cut became a bigger issue to me with the portaband.
My need for portable bandsaw work has diminished, that or I do it with other tools.
A cold cut saw is awesome, and I need/want a new one.
All depends on what you are looking to cut and where.

We still talking about portabands or jeeps?

Heck, I have 3 of those and no time to use them, moving to the new place and getting everything set up is taking longer than I thought. I think that spells $$$$

More importantly, everyone knows that you need a portaband to install a garbage disposal!

Okay children, first they have other models. Second, I was showing the concept. They have some DIY versions out there, but great ideas on this one.

I just watch the Home Depot specials on tools. I am sure what you want will never be on sale when you want it though.
