I like it much better than the Swag table and at only $100- it was money well spent locally.
He even took the time to change the mounting plate in CAD and his Torchmate made quick work cutting me one to fit my mega old Milwaukee portaband. I bought an extra plate to fit the 5" deep throat Baer (harbor freight) portaband just in case my old red machine ever kicks the bucket.

Awesome. Swag or Flandro, those little portaband tables are a game changer.

What makes you like this more than swag?

Good question.
The design of the plate let's you leave it in place and still usefully use the portaband when it's not in the table. (Also Swag didn't have an option for my super old portaband.)

That and it's $40 less with no shipping.
And Rob is local.

I too picked one up for my Bauer portaband. Works great! The price was right, and with a full plate of projects, I’m good with not having to fab one up. 🤘

If the corners were rounded I think I'd already have one. Is that petty? Probably...

For now I just clamp my portaband in the vise.

The saw comes out of my swag with one knurled thumb screw and is totally stand alone usable. Either way, any band saw table is sweet. I use mine every week. 40 bones is a bonus.

The plate that stays with the saw on the swag one is just a little bigger that's all. Bandsaw tables are so useful!

yessir, these ones. Having them rounded would not change performance at all. Like I said, petty-ish

Got it. I'm sure you could ask Rob it wouldn't be difficult for him to change the cut file.

Last night I ran a bead of weld around the cut groove on the edge (where it bends) and it stiffened it up a bit. (Mostly for some TIG practice).
