My Chop Saw Just died What should I bye

Tough to cut a 20ft tube on a band saw. My old saw just died after 20 some years of service and I replaced it with a rigid after looking at all the saw avalible it was the only one with a cast iron base the rest were sheet metal.

bought a new milwaukee a couple of years ago, piece of ****, the old makita I had for 20 years & wore out has more power!

 

Wow, I'm liking that Evolution machine.

 

Milwaukee Portaband deep cut.

 

Bought a Makida 14" orange and silver model 20 years ago. Used It for 10 years 5 days a week cutting tubing all day long and been using it off and on for the last 10 years. Only thing I replaced was the cord because the sparks got to it . Things never quit yet, knock on wood!!!

 

makita , the new Duwalt is not what they used to be.

 

I bought a horizontal band saw. Now i use the fire spewing dragon called a chop saw as a boat anchor.

 

What?.....are you thinking vertical only?

I bought a vertical and a horizontal bandsaw, I have not used my chop saw since.

 

Thats ****s funny! You from Texas?

 

Been using a cheapy HF chop saw for the last 6 years... works great!!!!

 

I use a Makita I bought in 1976. Still works good. I shouldn't have said this, now it will quit.
