    That looks like a dandy for scrollwork.

    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.

    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.
    The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

    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.
