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 just bought this last year for $199.00 and it's great. Much better
than the HF unit I used to have. I see they jumped the price up.

Does it cut square? Also, would a "portable" metal cutting bandsaw
like the Porter Cable at Lowes clamped to a table cut as accurate?


It cuts as square as you want to make it. A matter of adjustments.
I wouldn't think I could trust the Porter Cable setup you describe.
