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've had one of these saws for several years now and for $150 it's a
good bargain. *In the vertical position you can cut sheet, something
that a chop saw can't do.

I never thought of that. how thick? I am wanting to make some triangle
gussets out of 3/16. Could I use it for that?
