really I think you have it backwards.What he is needing is a saw to cut stock up to two inches. Veritcal bandsaw is the way to go because you set it to run and it cuts while you are doing something else. Horizontal you stand there and push on the two inch stock steel until it cuts and hopefully you push it straight.
vertical is up and down
horizontal is like the horizon.
He needs small, at least that's what he said initially.
I find for my needs that the porta band is fast enough. I also have a small powered hack saw.. but the portaband is much faster.
