Here's how to pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBand saw or cold saw\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003ehorizontal band saw\u003c\/strong\u003e cuts solid bar, tube and structural shapes with a thin blade and little waste. It's the most versatile choice for a small shop. A \u003cstrong\u003emitering\u003c\/strong\u003e band saw lets you cut angles without re-clamping the stock. A \u003cstrong\u003ecold saw\u003c\/strong\u003e uses a toothed circular blade at low speed for fast, very square, burr-light cuts on tube and bar; it's a production tool with higher blade costs. A \u003cstrong\u003edry-cut\u003c\/strong\u003e saw runs a carbide blade at high speed without coolant: fast, but louder, and a different machine from a cold saw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCapacity at 90° and 45°\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaw capacity drops when you cut an angle. Every listing shows capacity for round, rectangle and flat stock at 90° and 45°, so check the angle cuts you actually make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDrill press or mag drill\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003efloor drill press\u003c\/strong\u003e is for parts you can bring to the machine. Look at swing, chuck size, spindle taper (MT3 is common) and the low end of the speed range; big holes in steel need slow speeds. A \u003cstrong\u003emagnetic drill\u003c\/strong\u003e brings the drill to the work: beams, columns and plate too big to move. It runs annular cutters, which cut a clean hole much faster than a twist drill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat else you'll need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpare blades sized for your material, annular cutters and pilot pins for a mag drill, taper-shank bits for drill presses with small chucks, a vise, cutting fluid, and stock supports for long pieces.
