My version of the portaband to vertical mod










I removed the handle and used the bolt holes to attach a channel for the wires in the back and the lower bolts for a blade adjustment point to square to the table top.All flat plates drawn in fusion and cut on my crossfire pro.

Nice job! I just made one for mine this week. I got the file from Fireshare and put my own spin on it. The funny thing is that I have wanted to make one since I got the Crossfire and finally had the right size metal to make it 10 months later.

Nice.I really like that style.

I clamp it to a table that accompanies my fixture table. I like the fact yours is fixed. You could also have a receiver on a bench as well if you need to have it off the fixture table.

I’m preparing to set up several tools with the receiver hitch stand so I can move them around the shop as projects dictate. On the receiver tube mounted to the welding table, it looks you have 2 (two) hex head bolts to secure the stand (prevent wobble). My questions is, is one on each side, or is two enough?

Great ideas. I need to stop procrastinating and order my table.
