I'm looking at improving my capabilities to cut stock in the workshop.

I'm currently considering a few options. the first is a basic bandsaw,

This appears to be the same (or close enough too) the basic hafco saw, and without the 3 hour round trip and a little cheaper.

Otherwise I have been interested in looking at one of the evolution cold cut chop saw.

I have used one of these types blades in a drop saw and had reasonable results, as good as I have ever seen form a cheap hacksaw.

or do I hang out and try to buy a better second hand bandsaw. I have always found bandsaws tricky so a 2nd hand higher quality one could either be perfect or a disaster.

I have a max budget of around 600 dollars.
