What I am thinking of doing, in one form or another, is adding a hinge
to a harbor freight portable bandsaw, so that it becomes a little
better at making precise cuts. It could serve as a stationary bandsaw,
kind of. It would hinge around and could be lowered on stock to be
cut. Anyone tried anything like that?

I've got one (Lathemaster) in a home/hobby shop and I like it alot. It's
a new tool and I've only used it on some 4' x 4' wood and some 1/2 inch
alum. For $229.00 plus some bi-metal blades makes this saw is a good buy
for the home machinist/hobbist.

Here's a link to a model I believe the Lathemaster was copied after:

Enco and others have portable bandsaw accessories, which include add-on
bases.
