-Are there any potential vertical bandsaws on the market now? (This would be a good spot to list them.)
+Candidate Model Examples:
-Are the any vertical bandsaws that people are particularly fond of? Listing them here will help allow Dean to know what to hunt for.
-Candidate Models:
 Powermatic 143 - A 14" combination wood/metal saw with 2 speed gearbox and 4 speed belt drive. Compact and very strong for a 14" saw.
-DoAll - A shop classic. They almost always have built-in blade welders, which we could use for all the bandsaws in the shop. Often 3000 pounds plus (too big), but smaller saws are available. There is a surplus of these saws on the used market, as shops are moving to wire EDM, water jet and lasers for profiling work.

 Grob NS-18  1000 pounds, 18", 5 or 10 speed, depending on vintage.
-Roll-In - Gravity fed sliding table. These can used as profiling or cutoff saws. Could easily replace the Harbor Freight as well as provide the sheet profiling capabilities we are looking for in a vertical. Larger footprint than a standard 14" saw, but not too heavy (~800 pounds). Other companies have similar models. http://www.rollinsaw.com/band_saws/EF1459_vertical_band_saw.htm
