Hey everyone im looking into purchasing a metal cutting bandsaw. I was wondering what would be a decent one for the price im looking to spend? Im looking to spend up to $250. I see the Harbor Frieght one but the 1/3 hp makes me kinda scetchy. Would it just be real slow at cutting? Anyone have any advice or machine they can point me towards. -Nick

 

does this one look o.k.? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...&rd=1

 

that will get the light work done, but if you'll are planning to use it more often, spend more $ on a heavier duty one.

 

porter cable

 

on paper that Ebay one looks very impressive.. if I was local I would buy one.. I dont want to pay $80 shipping tho.. I could buy a new 1hp motor for that!

Do you have a Harbor Freight local to you? The Ebay one looks just like the one Harbor Freight sells. I think they are $180 at the store.
