I weld for a living, So, thats why I never see them. Too slow, and you have to babysit them. In any shop including my garage, I just set the saw and go do something else while it cuts.
I true metal cutting bandsaw is a horizontal saw. Or metal cutoff saw. It clamps the metal, and miters it to what you need. They are gravity fed or power fed. Air cooled or have a cooling setup.
What I did was get the super thin utility ones, then put them sharp edge to edge. Use 4-5 amps no filler and a .040 tungsten. I wear 5 shade googles to see it. At my work we are doing a big job for the army corp of engineers. Ive put down hundreds of pounds of 1/16 wire. No joke like a 45 pound...
Ok let me let me find my cert card that says i can do that too, all position including over head! and I have a cert for gmaw all position Want me to post pics of 2 razor blades I tig welded? or 2 pop cans?
