Zoro seems to be on the high end with prices. The Hobart 210 lists for $1,300 compared to less than $900 on Amazon.

Thanks for posting this link! Yes, the swag v4 table looks to be exactly what I need. My workspace is limited, so adding a large machine comes as a compromise. Plus my media choice is small diameter steel tubing.

Found one on fleabay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MACHINISTS-DELTA-ROCKWELL-14-WOOD-METAL-CUTTING-BAND-SAW-ON-STAND-/310784472769?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item485c32b6c1 But no shipping. :(

Sound advice. Here's one for sale locally. http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/tls/4158798565.html Any feedback on brand model is greatly appreciated. I'll definitely keep looking in my local CL. Thanks. Amazing freehand cut.

Got it. I'll cross it off the list. Thanks.

Thanks Douglezzz, Seiler. I'll keep this tool in mind. One question. Is there a way to attach a plate for holding material at the blade?

Thanks for the info regarding specific cutting speed. This is part of being a noob. Not knowing what you don't know. With that said, I don't think I'm "dreaming." I'm just comparing apples to oranges. Most of the big box stores I've looked at don't necessarily divulge info on specific media...

Product is both horizontal and vertical. Are you saying this wont work as vertical for my application or just doesn't work well vertical period?

Hmm.., found one here with variable speed options. Within budget. But seems a little down on hp. http://www.homedepot.com/p/JET-5-in-x-6-in-Horizontal-and-Vertical-Metalworking-Bandsaw-414458/100489508#specifications

Thanks for pointing that out Ign. You are correct, big difference between vertical and horizontal. I'm looking for vertical. I had not taken into consideration the band saw speed. A pulley system is likely a good option. I'll keep that in mind.

ez, yes, the projects are for building headers. I do plan on practicing with mild steel. Mainly for getting the feel of it on more economical media. The safety issue is big for me too. I like having all my fingers and hands. :D I've spent good money on a product that addresses quality, ease...

Hello fellow GJ members, I'm a newbie home hobbyist that could use a little help for recommendations on what Vertical Band Saw to purchase. Here's what I'll be using it for. Stainless 304 16-18gauge 1.5-2" tubing Amount of use: Not sure yet but aside from using it on 2 projects, it will...

Great job.

That's great. Thanks for the help shoturtle!

Ok, decision made. Gonna give Wera tools a try. The Zyclop ratchet seems ideal for tight spots. Shoturtle seems to have answered my next logical question, which size? I'll try out the 3/8" drive. That's the set I'm after but in metric. I didn't much pay attention to the link I posted.
