Grizzly H7760 Combo Belt Sander/Grinder

if you get a bandsaw make sure its a metal cutting saw. the portabands seem to be a favorite for those with a budget in mind. I have no experience with them myself tho.
 
the HF bandsaw isn't horrible unless you're planning on cutting out a LOT of steel.
 
I'm looking at this model: http://www.harborfreight.com/9-in-bench-top-band-saw-60500.html

There seems to be pretty positive reviews. From what I've been reading I will need to get a blade with 14-18TPI. I'm wondering it the blade size with this model(above) is standardized and available at home depot/lowes?


ETA- I wonder if this one would work better?

all 3 of those are woodworking bandsaws and will not work for metal cutting.
this is a porta-band - which is your lowest cost option in metal cutting power tools. (apologies for the giant picture)
