Now that we've got a thread here too, not just in the Tinker's guild...
I've been wanting a proper metal cutting bandsaw, especially after hacksawing off s 4" SST pipe 8-(
So, after looking at about 8 million horizontal saws and 10^9 wood saws... I bought a wood saw. It's a top of the line 18"er, from someone who apparently thinks that "230 volts" in RED is what comes out of the usual USA type outlet ;-) gosh, no wonder it didnt run right!
Anyway, adding a second motor with 10:1 worm box on it for steel cutting ranges. My junk attic contributed the big DC motor and drive.
It's just dummied in place there...
Had to custom grind the tool for the poly-v belt too. My home-built tool grinder made short work of that!
More bullitens as events warrant!
