Over the years I have used both. Band saw is light years better than a chop saw. I don't even have a good bandsaw but it works great.

Better yet, use a steak knife. If the user is expierenced you can wield it with amazing control.

Make sure it's a ginzu tho!
Bandsaw ftw. By such an ungodly margin... You can get the red (better) harbor frieght one for $130-170 most of the time. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...262&pricetype= $179.99 minus the 20% off any single item coupon = $144.00 pre tax. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/pho...3799/93762.gif or you can get the "new" version of the Grizzly copy model which is the same thing with an UNGODLY bigger, better motor (For the rest of the year only tho b/c Grizzly does that with entry items only). Better stand, looks better, should work better, etc. http://www.grizzly.com/products/G0622 http://images.grizzly.com/grizzlycom...00/g/g0622.jpg $298.25 Or you can get their older version for $25 more http://www.grizzly.com/products/G1010 http://images.grizzly.com/grizzlycom...00/g/g1010.jpg $319.25 I'd buy the newer model. It's a full 1hp 110v motor isntead of the 1/2hp of the older grizzly. The harbor freight motors are grossly over-rated. They're normally only 1/3 to 1/2 their rated power output. :\ Hope that sort's it out for you. JET has a copy of those also. http://www.wmhtoolgroup.com/product_...ges/414458.jpg It's 1/2hp, but it can be wired 110v or 220v. It's the king sorta. It's less powerful than the new grizzly one even when wired 220v. But it's really a 5*6 bandsaw, not a 4*6. Round Capacity at 90° (in.) 5 Round Capacity at 45° (in.) 3 Rectangle Capacity at 90° (in./W x H) 5x6 Rectangle Capacity at 45° (in./W x H) 5x3 Throat Depth (in.) 6 It's also normalyl found right around $400. I love all my expencive Grizzly woodworking tools. I'd most likely buy the new Grizzly one when I burn my second one up... |
