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.

Because, when someone asks, "What's the best tool for this job?", twelve people will give thirteen opinions.

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. :mrgreen:
