Metal cutting - oxyfuel cutting, plasma cutting, machining, grinding, and other preparatory work.
Why is it on ANY form I read people try to contradict each other?I,m a retired
tool & die maker.I know about cutting metal after 45 years doing this.I have
three band saws in my home shop.Two verticals, large & small & a horiszonaI , now have a cold
saw I bought a year ago.
Now what saw do I use most you ask?My cold saw.The cold saw could never replace
my vertical.If you have a small shop & must live with one saw?Get a small horizontal
that can also be used for a vertical by raising the arm to a fixed possession.

Here, you'll get an answer from someone who makes yard art, and an answer from someone who builds power plants.
Both answers recieve the same respect.

I decided on the Milwaukee Deep Variable speed portable band saw. I'm also going to get the SWAG Off-road stand for it. ![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
