Looking for suggestions for a benchtop bandsaw for occasional metal cutting. Need 6-inch depth of cut. Not sure if something like this exists. I have a lot more bench space than floor space so a benchtop vertical bandsaw would be ideal.

The Milwaukee portable with the Swag mounting table is 5", so that's out.
Maybe this?

I had a Rockwell band saw that I bolted a riser plate between the two halves. I then welded longer blades to fit. The Rockwell was a good saw, it had a back gear for steel and a faster gear for wood.

I had that exact Milwaukee/Swag setup, lost it all in a fire along with a mill and lathe. Expecting new Precision Matthews mill & lathe in January. That Wen looks promising - thanks.
This bandsaw is way too fast for metal cutting.
