I can't take credit for this, I saw it on another persons site. and copied it and built it onto my saw.
I know several members here have these Horizontal/Vertical metal cutting bandsaws. I used my as much in the vertical position as I do in the Horizontal.

When you have a large table on it, it hits the vise in the horizontal position. So you have to remove the table.

I made a piece that mounts to the saw out of 5/8" x 2 1/2" x 6 1/2" Aluminum. Hinges are 1/2" Square x 2" and the table is 5/16" x 6/12" x 8 1/2"

When you need to cut something horizontal in the vise you just flip up the table and flip it back when done.
