i have been pleased with heavy use of my HF band saw. 


someone like you might be better off with a hand model and a vice/table kit.

i was looking at the cheaper HF one...
not worth it?

I use a Milwaukee porta-band with the Swag stand/table. Much smaller footprint and does 99% of what I need. Love it!

full size bandsaws are really annoying to store. If what you need it for (really throat depth is the practical limitation) is covered by a portaband, you won't regret that at all. Very versatile tool.

HF saw worth it for me.  love it, would buy another tomorrow.   no other better tool to hawg though 10" i beams or C channel / angle on its own while im drinking beer or doing something else.
