[TheForge] Band saw

[Franklin Police]

Harbor freight portaband is about $65 when on sale.
You can make a bracket to stand it up.
If getting a wood saw to run metal you may need a jack shaft to slow it
down.  Make sure you can get a metal blade in the right length or you have
to weld/solder your own from 100 foot coils

Hi all,
I'm looking to get a band saw but many that I've seen are for wood. (I'm
talking used stuff here.) I've heard that if you get the right blade and a
low enough speed that it doesn't matter. I'm not cutting anything except
sheet metal and maybe some .5" square. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jim
