The HF vertical/horizontal saw has to be one of the cheesiest tools I have bought from them. But, as it turns out, it gets the job done. I have even considered buying a second unit to set it in vertical mode as I am always needing the mode that I don't have. The only reason why I haven't done it is because I do not have the space for a second saw. If space was not a concern, I would have already gotten me three of them!
Do note I have had some issues with the HF blades. This is of course to be expected, as what from HF comes out perfect out of the box? But to have a blade welded backwards? That is preposterous, isn't it? However, I have already purchased two like this. How do I know? Because when I place the blade, the teeth are going in the opposite direction. The first time I didn't notice and it was taking forever to cut the stock. I then realized I needed to flip the blade, and that did the trick. Make sure you are wearing gloves because flipping a band saw blade is a recipe for blood!
