It really comes down to what you want to cut. A high speed, wood bandsaw will cut thinner aluminum, brass, etc.,. If you want to cut steel, titanium or thicker soft metals you need a low speed bandsaw. Dual range saws can get pretty expensive but will do everything. I've been using the 14" Wilton Tradesman saw for years and it's held up well to hard use. It has a high and low range and cuts like a SOB  I can friction saw (high speed) .200 thick titanium, no problem. Guides and wear parts are easily available. When I bought mine it was $900, now I see they are up to about 1,300 :( It's expensive for hobby use but you will be able to pass it down to your grand kids  http://www.southern-tool.com/store/t...n_bandsaw.html Last edited by FL Knifemaker; 06-27-2008 at 01:14 PM. |
