I have a HF (Bauer brand) compact/portable metal bandsaw and have used it enough to know that I need a stand. I haven't used the metal bandsaw as much as I thought I would, but it has been very helpful the times I needed it. I have looked for a stand for it on a couple of occasions over the past couple of years and they (stands for portable BS) are expensive, and cost as much as a good name brand portable metal bandsaw. $300-$400. The stand I found on Amazon looks exactly like the HF one below.

I noticed a stand in HF a few months ago but didn't need it then. Then I was in HF this week (the first day I was released by surgeon to drive) and saw the BS stand again at $119.99, and I had a 15% off coupon. While in the hospital and in rehab, I have had lots of time to think of the projects I want to do and one will require some metal cutting.
This stand's version allows it to be either as a chop down cut or as a stand up with a small table.
I bought one and got it home, and LOML jumped all over me. It weighed about 30 lbs and my heart surgeon limited me to 10 lbs until the end of March. I was so happy with my "present" and now I can't use it for 6 or so weeks. It is sitting in my shop, unopened and just waiting.
Anyone else have one or use one?
