Wes sez::

"I need one for home since my other one is at work and I don't have a
metalworking bandsaw atm. Uncle's saw is 1.4 miles away and has free coffee
when I visit ;) Probably time to buy him a band for it."

Getchertsef a package of Starret 32-tooth blades for that new home hack saw.
Follow the 3 tooth
rule and limit your hack saw work to that which is easily done with 32-teeth
blades. Leave the
heavy stuff for the band saw.

most things that are in the range of a 32-tooth blade can be cut far more
easily with tin snips or a shear :-)

Yeah, but . . . you can kill flys with a cannon but it is a lot less elegant
than a flyswatter.

Yes, that is the one, saw it at the Starrett booth at Westech, and then
ordered it a few months after - I really like it, but I can't say that it is
inherently better than something less expensive. The one down side is that
it will only work with 12 inch blades, no 10 inch capability like some of
the cheaper ones

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That may be, Bill, but do you ever use 10" blades? I don't even own any.
