Mike I've spoken to a lot of people over the years who own power hacksaws and they reckon that they prefer them over bandsaws.
i can see clear advantages to having all 3 machines!!!! mainly to feed my insatiable need for metalworking machinery.
but seriously if you are doing a lot of straight or beveled cuts nothing beats a powerhack. i can put 4 pieces of my 304 ss tubes side by side and cut them all in the same time. can't do that easily with a vertical bandsaw. the horizontal bandsaws are pretty trick though.
a vertical bandsaw can make small curves if properly equipped and works better on smaller items, not as easy to manage on the powerhack or horizontal bandsaw.
all 3 are preferable in my book!!! :jester:
