Price, I'd love 0$, and they'd ship it for free, but $300 to $500 is OK

Most of the stuff will be either rod, angle, or small (maybe 6") stock.
No engine blocks.

SOME of the 4x6 bandsaws are OK. Mine will cut 1/2" thick by 6" wide
steel the hard way, and its adjustable blade guides can be set to cut
square within about 0.005" per inch. It could probably be set more
closely but I use it to cut structural steel outdoors on uneven ground
and the frame twists.
