Just for closure- first batch we're getting cut off at a supplier, who
also happens to have a ratty but compact guilliotine-style (two post)
bandsaw for sale that can do it in two cuts. Asking price for the saw
is $2K.



Hey Speff,

Auction today had 9" Wells same design as that. It went for $200. Not
in bad shape. It would certainly "hold" a 12" diameter if the vise
jaws were exteded up, and would work if you cut through the 9" or at
least 1/2 way through and them rotated to complete the cut.

Thanks, Brian.
