I made a 4.5" vertical bandsaw some years back using a DeWalt handheld saw for the powerhead. I use it constantly when doing metal work. It is perfectly square in all three axes. The saw moves through the material, which is securely clamped to the table. Rather than moving the material through the saw. This provides great accuracy. It is a miniature version of the big vertical saws at the place where I get steel. I also have a Makita dry cut saw and metal cutting circular saw and plasma. But this does things those other tools cannot. The footprint is about 30x34.
