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.

Gonna cut that T1 plate right handy with that bandsaw..a couple blades
and a day or so.

Keep em both.

Both have applications that one is better than the other for.

Try cutting a brick on your bandsaw.

Works fine on the chop saw.

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
