Latest addition Portable Variable Speed Band Saw - HF

I have one of those. Its been to hell and back and hasnt let me down yet. I got mine mounted for vertical cutting works like a champ with the right blades. The mount on the back of the bandsaw slides into the base, the frame stays attached to the saw for horizontal/manual cuts. I keep the trigger locked and use an hf on off foot pedal.

With a good blade it has be very good so far. Can't decide if I should mount it vertically or not, been using it alot portable-wise.
I did take it down and lube it up, seemed a bit lacking in a couple of places but not too bad.

Mine arrived last week and I promptly change the wood blade out and put in the promotional 'Freebie' blade. It is not all that noisy/loud like I heard. I put it to work the next day and it made nice cut and beat the h__l out of a hack saw! With my severe arthritis, I look for all the help I can find, my 11 year old son, power band saw, etc. Now to get caught up with work to do two things. One is a tilt hinge that will assist with horizontal cutting and that locks in the vertical position for the 'to be made' table for it. The cut was clean, straight and quick! Very happy camper here.
 
I abused the devil out of mine this week cutting up a bunch of salvage bar stock for the Jeep®.
3/8" and 1/2" thick, 2" and 3" wide. About 24 cuts. Mine is rather noisy and I wear muffs when using it.
But it did the job, I'm using old candles right now for lube until I can buy something better.
As we've said - beats the heck out of a hack saw.
