Try find the next size bigger if you can . Watch to get one that has a table that attaches to use it vertical also . Like this

You would have a tough time trying to cut bends with that deal.What you want is a 12" or14" vert. with reduction slow enough to cut steel.So you dont smoke a blade the instant you touch it.

Oh wow, I'm glad you posted that link. I have that exact saw and theres a link for the manual in there. All ways nice to have.

All the cheap 4X6 bandsaws are nearly identical but out of the box, they suck. Spend some time alligning a good blade, build a heavier stand for it along w/some other mods, they can be great saws.
