I'm looking for a horizontal bandsaw. Usually I'm one for going one size larger than I need to make sure I don't need to buy it later. This time I'm thinking a portaband size is all I need for a long time. I'm debating between the HF Hercules bandsaw and portable stand ($210) and the WEN 5" horizontal bandsaw ($338). Price-wise I have ruled out most (OK, all) other options. Milwaukee or Dewalt bandsaw and the portaband pro stand cost more than a floor sized (Jet) horizontal bandsaw . I like the idea of being able to remove the bandsaw from the stand, so I am leaning towards the Hercules setup.
