|  i have graduated i have graduated from a hacksaw to a delta band saw!! and a craftsman 8" drill press!! so it might not seem big, but i hate the hacksaw. it takes so long to cut crappy edges. just thought i would share this little fact before i bury myself in the shop whilst i rebuild the maxx and clod. |

| Congrats! Your getting fancy on us now!  I too graduated from dremel/hack saw to a 4x6 bandsaw and drill press. I love my band saw. It makes cutting metal so much easier, faster, cleaner, and more precise. Although I went the cheap route and got a Harbor Freight bandsaw and a drill press from Big Lots, but they still work great! Now I just need a tubing bender. (for 1:1 stuff) |
