Chop saw or Band saw?
 

Which one would be easier and better for fabricating manifolds, exhausts, roll cage. I'm tired using my hacksaw!

I only have a Band saw, and personally, I see no need for a Chop Saw. I luv my 225.00 CAN bandsaw with a REALLY good Bi-Metal blade in it!!! No sparks, no fine dust flying around, No need to go to the hospital to get metal drilled out of my eye(oh I don't miss that day!!)

Cheap 4x6 Bandsaw ANYDAY!!!!

I like my chopsaw for its portability factor, but the bandsaws I use at work is pretty ------- nice, but HUGE

I didnt know they made small bandsaws

i think it would be ok.

i may get one to cut collectors, but as of now, im makign some nice collectors with my chop saw.

Those band saws wont cut ----. You would need a drop down saw.

Re: Chop saw or Band saw?
 

those are wood cutting band saws... you need to slow them down with pulleys to make em work for metal. something tells me they dont have to power to cut slowly either.

Something like that should work for you.I have no experience with those Harbour Freight units but I would imagine it is adequate for home use.
