Harbor freight band saw or angle grinder?

I have had the Sears version of the HF 4x6 for 20 years I use it to chop big stock, trim Damascus billets, cut blanks, cut sheet metal etc. I buy the Chicago Electric bimetal blades from HF for 16.95 (24 tpi) and they work well and last longer than the Starret ones did.

I am a hobby knifemaker. I got a H/F metal cutting bandsaw. I knew I was just going to use it in the vertical position, so I decided to make a seat for it. And it went on from there. Here are pics...







This turned into a much longer project. The oiler system was made with parts I had laying around, the seat was upholstered by a friend of mine, the table came from a scrapped cheap bandsaw and the foot switch was left over when I closed my studio. After all the additions and adjusting the saw, it runs great. ...Teddy
