Re: Band saw for cutting aluminum

This one would be pretty sweet

Unfortunately those are out of most of our price ranges... awesome saws if you ever get to use one though.

For cutting long tubing into shorter pieces, or for cutting solid stock, or for anything you want a straight cut for, go with the horizontal bandsaw. I've heard that if you use horizontal bandsaws in the vertical position very often, it can become very hard to get a straight cut when switching back to using it horizontally, however.

If you're looking at cutting lots of thin stuff and cutting angles or contours, go with the vertical bandsaw.

P.S. We have that Delta vertical bandsaw, and considering it's small size, it's not bad at all.

Also, that JET and Grizzly saw are exactly the same saw, just branded differently. KBC Tools also sells the same saw for $225. Don't pay more for the JET. Buy the cheapest one you find.
