[TheForge] Cut off saw

[Jerry Frost]

Exactly my recommendation Andy. The only time I use the abrasive saw (pawn
shop special) is for thin wall tubing or hard steels.

The el-cheapo close out store bandsaw I have is decades old and needs a bit
of tweeking once in a while but still cuts true.

Another upside to a bandsaw is it's the ONLY power tool I'll turn on and
walk away from. Even if something goes wrong, the worst that can happen is a
broken blade.

Get a vertical horizontal and you get double duty from it. If you have about
$1k to spend get the large Jet, horizontal vertical, it's well worth the
money.
