For years I have put off turning ideas into reality because cutting heavy stock was not realistic. I have cutting torches but have never been very good at using them. I thought, many times, about getting a harbor Freight bandsaw to cut larger stock, but didn't like the idea. So, finally I took the plunge and just picked up my new horizontal bandsaw at the truck terminal. I bought an Ellis 1600 saw. It is amazing. On test cuts, it went through 3" thick round stock like nothing. Anyone else have one? It's a lot of money, but, with care, I think I can get most of my money back if I would have to sell it. Now it's time to get serious about my homemade portable sawmill.
