Can you get a table to attatch to the band saw in the vertical position and can you make curves?

[MrMldillman]

@DiamondTattooInk --- you bet, most metal cutting band saws come with a table attachment allowing you to cut on the vertical plane...and yes, you can cut curves.

How about that guard off the grinder? Did you cut that up too? Be careful or youll be building some prosthetic's...

[MrMldillman]

@poopeybritches --- yup, you got me...and you are right!

There are new and improved angle grinder videos now available on my channel.

...and I need to drop some SAFETY WARNINGS on this video...

DO NOT Do as I do...do as I say!

ALWAYS USE THE SAFETY GUARD!!!

thanks =)

@MrMldillman I have seen more then one man cut pretty bad because they removed the guard to get into those tight spots. I have a scar straight down my index finger because of this very thing. It's a painful lesson.

[MrMldillman]

@AtomicArtsLA --- yes, i hear ya...and believe me, I know better too!

Idealy I think a mini mill would work best for me to make these frames... But if i could make semi precise cuts and curves with band saw I could probably file cut the rest of the frame ... I just need to make good 90's and precise cuts .. think a muted gauge and table could achieve this? I can do it out of wood so i figure I can do it with metal .. I know they're two diff animals but i have prior metal working experience ... I was a millwright before this little business venture lol

@thekralian --- thank you for watching!
