I have never been happy with my Dunlap vertical band saw. It was a wood bandsaw that I put a 30:1 speed reducer on. That cut the sfm down to under 100 to around 200 depending on which pulley I am using. My 3x6 horizontal with a 14 tpi blade running at 133 sfm just slices through whatever I want to cut. So I got a 14 tpi blade for the vertical. It doesn't cut anything worth a darn. Rarely use it. I might convert it back to wood. Looking for ideas on this thread
