Daniel,
Look at the 14" chop saws. Yes, I am partial to Milwaukie brand
tools. Pay a little more, they last a life time.
My $200 band saw really doesn't cut that straight but tends to
wonder. This is even with a various assortment of blades with
different teeth and tension.
Latest addition was a Plasma Cutter. Nice tool. ;-)
