I am at the point where burning through steel stock with angle grinders is getting old. I'd like to get a small 5x7 horizontal bandsaw or a dry cut chop saw for steel work. Space is somewhat of an issue, but not totally. I do mainly exhaust fab, turbo piping fab, and chassis fab. Anything from ladder bars to custom frame crossmembers. I'm not commercial and it wouldn't be used heavily.
I am leaning towards the bandsaw due to it's tube cutting capabilities, especially larger piping for intercooler pipes, and doing so at funky angles.
I am leaning towards the dry cut saw because of the speed and accuracy they cut larger thicker stock. The one time I used one on some 4x4x5/8 angle I was thoroughly impressed, especially doing repeated cuts.
Any thoughts? I also have a portaband and want something better.
