I recently purchased a Milwaukee portaband saw. Using ideas from YouTube videos I designed and built a stand. 

Below is a photo and a link to a YouTube video. The photo shows the new table. The video shows the old table.

A problem developed when I changed to a more aggressive 14 tooth blade. The leveling screws lift the table from the bumper shoe.  When I tried to but a 2 1/2" round bar the saw climbed upward. 

I plan to fix this with either a clamp on the handle or a spacer to keep the table in contact with the bumper shoe.

Thanks for the comment BillyO. 

I fixed the stand by adding a cap to the post. I pulled the old video and posted a new one. Below is a link and a couple of photos.
