smokin5s Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Have you checked out Harbor Freight? I bought a drill press from them for under 100 dollars and it's worked great for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10phone2 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 i have their band saw. the only two complaints I have with it is that you don't want to trust the angles it says its set at and have to mess around with the settings. The other thing is that you will have to weld on extension for the tubing to rest on so you can cut longer than a few feet. If you haven't seen it online already, don't even bother with the blade that comes in the box and get the upgraded version that they have in stock. It's great to be able to cut metal in the garage and not wake everyone up like you would with a chop saw. If you want something that is set and be done with it, then the harbor frieght press may not be for you. There are several companies the specialize in used metal equipment but I would have to dig up their websites if needed. I'm pretty sure Alex has a Grizzly band saw that he obviously uses with great success, so they maybe an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
