/diy/ - Do It Yourself

The 4x6 horizontal/vertical bandsaw is a pretty great value from HF, and the %20 coupons usually apply to it. The base is absolute garbage, but will more than hold till you can rig up something more sturdy. Or, not, it'll work fine with the base either way.
It is an invaluable tool for a metal working hobbiest. Won't do everything as nicely as a dedicated horizontal or vertical metal working bandsaw will, but is 1/5th the price of either. It's advisable to torture test the machine to make sure there's no glaring defects before the initial 90 return period is up. After that, replacement parts can be ordered from Grizzly, as the machines are identical outside of QC and maybe a better motor.
It might take the slightest bit of romancing to get it to cut perfectly square, but it's all pretty straight forward and intuitive if you have the slightest bit of mechanical understanding. I feel it's one of the best deals from HF, and the only thing I ever bought from them that I didn't at least slightly regret.
