Looking a bit of advise on these, we have a sheppach besato 3 in work that has no guide bearings ECT but is still a handy tool, I'm looking to buy a vertical band saw for home but just how much do you spend on one and what make to go for, I was thinking on one with a cast top with an opening of 300-350 cut and a 1 hp motor, any recommendations it will mainly be used for cutting aluminium
