I'm looking at purchasing a saw to cut metals for example: Al, Steel, SS, Titanium, Platinum, just to name some.
The cutting saws I've been looking at are the Horizontal/Vertical Bandsaw from Harbor Freight that has a 1hp motor with 3 speeds.
The material being cut could be as much at 1" thick.

I've also looked at 14" Chop Saws that can also do the job.

I don't do production. It's all one up stuff.

I know there are industrial Bandsaws and Chop Saws out there, I don't know if I need one though right this minute.

What would be your choice? Any suggestions?

Thanks
