Re: cheap bandsaws?
i have a 10" compound miter saw got of craigslist almost new for like $40 i just put metal blades in it. made a whole dp/exhaust with it just fine doin pie cuts. only thing that sucks about it is after a few cuts the 10" blade doing 3" pipe the motor hits the pipe on the right side on the down swing and sometimes will not make the cut all the way 
once i tried to use it with the sawdust bag on it and it caught fire instantly and burned up :1
its to hard trying to shove half welded ---- into it though i think a bandsaw would be easier

Re: cheap bandsaws?
id spend the money and get the grizzly or an enco. i had a harborfeight saw for less than a year and the pivot on it broke. the whole top of the saw rolled right off and almost broke my toe.
any band saw vert/horz whatever is good so long as it has belts and pullys on it. this way the motor can be easly replaced and you can get different pullys to change speeds
