Default Bandsaw question...

I think every person on this ng has one of those saws!
Rather than getting a bigger version of an H/V, if you find this little 4x6
is good for your horizontal cutting, I would get a regular Do-All-type
vertical bandsaw for the other stuff. I looked at the stuff from Sears, but
it's just too awful.
These, and an abrasive chop saw, and yer likely in bidniss.

Get two!

Altho this type of saw is not the best choice for extensive plate-type
cutting.
But, otoh, may be yer only choice.
You can, however, enlarge the platen from the stock 1x1" to about 2x3" or
so, w/o interfering w/ the horizontal operation. Helps a lot, not hard
to
do at all.

No shipping, pickup at local store. One will be enough, especially since
the 20% is for one item.

That's generally what I was thinking, I may still want to get the bigger
Jet bandsaw in the future, but for such a low price the HF bandsaw would
probably more that pay for itself in time saved pushing a hacksaw.
