OK, I have a dumb question. When is a vertical bandsaw like that
Powermatic, better than a horizontal?


When cutting detailed work pieces. A horizontal is strictly for cutting
to length. Making long pieces..or bundles of long pieces..into shorter
pieces.

A vertical is used for cutting out parts in plate and ones and twos of
shortening.

You didnt know this????????

Blink blink...blink?


I honestly did not know. Now that I do know, I am sure that I only
need a horizontal. Might even sell my chop saw.
