That looks like a dandy for scrollwork.

Do you think I could haul that in my F-150?

.... and they laughed when I paid extra to have 9' ceilings in my house ... ;)

Sure would go nicely with that 24" jointer somebody posted ... !

If all else fails using it as a tool, it could be used as a jersey barrier.

Wow, $2495. Those sold for a small fortune when new.

The pictures show three different saws. I wonder which one is actually for sale.

Nice saw if you're running a steel fab shop.

Warn me please before you are going to say something so funny that I spit out my beer. This lap top is not water"proof!:D

Once again,that is a METAL cutting bandsaw. From time to time someone puts up a picture of a similar metal saw.

Any saw with a built in welder is for metal.

Why? Can you not get wood working blades in rolls? The built in welder is for making blades from roll stock into bands for the saw. Or repairing broken blades, or doing scroll work that does not exit the work edges.

But the really big bandsaws are used to cut foam...14' between wheels.

wow, if that was a meat-cutting bandsaw, you could do the whole steer...on the hoof!

I'm gonna resaw me some beef for jerky. Does anyone have any ideas on tack gluing a steer to my resaw sled? Polyurethane? CA? Double sided tape? I want to get it right the first time as I really don't want to have to clean up the slices on my drum sander afterwards.

Hide Glue only option!

It COULD be used for wood IF you can get it to run fast enough. Metal saws don't usually run fast as wood saws. You need as slow as 75 feet per minute for cutting tool steel.
