Most of these I find use the work stop on the band saw, converting this to more of a table, once the tool is vertical. Making a stand or holder for a cordless band saw is nothing new, and plans can be found many places, including YouTube. For the job it’s manufactured to do, this is a positive. That being said, much of the body is made from composite material, not metal.

One of the benefits of the DeWalt DCS371 is that it’s fairly light for it’s cutting capacity. We opt for the option to build an even more portable stand, which we’ll use to clamp in the vice to hold the DeWalt band saw. One option is to build a more permanent stand to accept/hold the DeWalt DCS371. Even having a larger band saw in the shop, it’s much handier to use a smaller, portable band saw for smaller pieces. Rectangular steel and larger round stock, we use the JET Dual Miter Band Saw. With a 2-1/2″ cutting capacity, the DeWalt handles most of the angle and tubing (square or round) that we do. This DeWalt DCS371 20V Max band saw has plenty of power and cuts anything put in its path. This type of stand or holder can work for any flavor band saw, however, this is specifically for the 20V DeWalt. Using some angle and scrap metal lying around, we show how to build a cordless band saw stand for the DeWalt DCS371. One hand must always operate the saw, and the other needs to hold the tubing, angle or plate for cutting. The problem with a cordless band saw is that it limits the ability to cut any intricately detailed parts. In addition, having a cordless band saw at arm’s reach can be even more efficient. If you work in the shop doing any sort of metalworking and/or fabrication, then you know the value and benefits of a handy band saw.
