Default Bandsaw vs cold saw

To give you a feel for things: the Delta vertical bandsaw has a blade

I'd be looking at sending in a $500 cold saw blade every other week. Not
going to happen on my watch.



I do not believe anyone that likes you will tell you to get the cold saw in your case.

Cold saws are neat when you know they will only cut suitable materials.
