Re: Bandsaw

Unless you have some other way to cut long stock, horizontal is pretty essential for cutting long pieces from long stock. You can only cut as deep as the throat of the the saw on most verticle saws. Horizontal can also make more accurate square and miter cuts automatically, and can run unassisted through a long cut. Not sure how we would operate without one. Basically horizontal is better for cutting and mitering stock, verticle is better for sheet material, freehand work, and wood work.
