I don't see the original post to respond to, but I'll add this 4x6 bandsaw
link to the discussion for anyone that's interested in purchasing one of
these very versatile little saws.

Some adjustments and modifications are almost mandatory to improve the
performance of these saws to the point where they will cut fairly straight
every time, regardless of the stock thickness or shape.

I don't encounter wildly crooked cuts because the saw was disassembled and
set true as it was reassembled (replacing inferior hardware and making some
adjustments during reassembly).

In the horizontal cutting mode, a 4" downward cut varies less than one blade
kerf from the scribed line for the cut.
So, cutting 2" square tubing results in fairly close to perfect (TLAR) cuts
and fit-ups for welding.

We had a local store open up and they have the metal cutting band saw
for 150 bucks or so. I bought one of these cheap bandsaws at TSC
several years ago and went through two of them before I finally
returned them and bought a chop saw. The problem was the blade cutting
3 inch square tubing crooked.

Should I try it again or not?

I've had one of these saws for several years now and for $150 it's a
good bargain. In the vertical position you can cut sheet, something
that a chop saw can't do.
