Thumbs up Metal Band Saw ?'s

Anyone have any exp with sears on these saws? They seem to make a good product and this one is a great price for what you get. Any suggestions or concerns?

I am pretty sure that Sear band saw is designed for wood only because of the higher speeds.

Speed Capability - 2 speed
Speed Range FPM - 1450/3000 fpm


A good alternative would the the Harbor Freight one.

Blade speeds: 80, 120, 200 FPM

Thanks for that, very helpful.
I am in search of a vertical one with a table top, they work better for what I do. I have a tubing notcher, bender and chop saw for roll cage stuff, so I don't need that kind of a saw. They just opened a HF in billings, but that is 245 miles from me. Guess I will go online and look some more. :(
