That size saw can be had for $300-400 or so.
Those big DoAlls are wonderful If you have the floor space.
One like mine, you can chuck up a piece of steel or whatever and walk away and it just gets it done. Sawzall, Port a Band all are great on a construction job, but not for me in the shop.
For sheet metal I have a portable 120 volt power hand held metal shear.
I used to build a lot in my home fab shop, my first project after retirement was a 3 Point attach Back Hoe for my John Deere tractor.
