in the shop, fabrication tools upgrade/ replacement
These three items are worn beyond service life and will be replaced. Let me hear what some of you are using and receiving good service from.
*Cold cutting miter saw, 14" blade. *Metal cutting band saw, my first choice is an upright floor model with large cutting table. *Portable hand held band saw.

Re: in the shop, fabrication tools upgrade/ replacement
I have a Powermatic 20" vertical bandsaw and a Makita hand held bandsaw. Both are used too infrequently to justify the expense for new stuff. I was able to purchase at local auctions. Really nice to have the right equipment when you need it. ---Trevor

Our company uses Milwaukee portabands and has been using them for many years. For a portable bandsaw they are reliable. Same with the chopsaw.
