I recently purchased one of the new Dewalt portable band saws and just love it.
The reason I chose Dewalt was that its variable speed can be set with a control
knob as opposed to the trigger controls which I find difficult to use
consistantly having dulled a few blades with a few second slip of the trigger .
Also it has a built in work light so you can see the cut in low light
situations. It is typical Dewalt industrial quality.

The HF bandsaw thread prompts me to ask, how about PorterCable vs
Milwaukee? How do they compare? Let's just say the HF one is in a
class by itself? :-) (I am no HF snob, I own lots of HF - some great
values and decent quality there)

I'm partial to the PorterCable mostly because of my dissappointing
history with the Milwaukee 14" chop saws.

I think there will be a PC "big capacity" saw in my near future!
