I'm in the market for a portable bandsaw, in lieu of a $200 to $300 horizontal bandsaw (for which I don't have the shop space). The main use is to cut metal stock off into lumps to be machined, so usage will be moderate.
Milwalkee seems to make the best portable bandsaws, for about $300, but I don't know that I need this much saw, so I also looked at Harbor Freight's noodle factory knockoff, Item 47840-0VGA, for $75.
Does anyone have one of these? How well do they work? What are the problems? (I know that I will need to replace the supplied blade with Lenox or Starrett.)
And, are there better choices?
Thanks,
Joe Gwinn
