Are there many places you can find bandsaws for metal cutting? Something that someone who is just getting started can get? Preferably not something that is a 1K+ machine.
The 4x6 horizontal/vertical saw style that Harbor Freight carries has probably cut out as many knife blanks as any other saw on the market. If you want a higher quality one, you could look into the Grizzly. Everyone seems to agree that they have better QC. You'll never find a Griz that matches the HF saw's price when it goes on sale though.
The HF one is on sale for 189 right now through I think December 12, and there's a 20% off coupon in this month's Bassmaster and Popular Mechanics magazines that's good for any single sale or regular price item.

I got the same magazine. Thats the best I have seen it priced in some time. I paid $239 + $15 shipping on mine. Well worth it though. The blade deff needs to be changed, but for me...right now I just let it cut while I go play with something else and it gets the job done.
A new blade is in order though.
Congrats on your BS, very useful tool in the shop.
