DoAll - A shop classic. They almost always have built-in blade welders, which we could use for all the bandsaws in the shop. Often 3000 pounds plus (too big), but smaller saws are available. There is a surplus of these saws on the used market, as shops are moving to wire EDM, water jet and lasers for profiling work.

Grob NS-18 1000 pounds, 18", 5 or 10 speed, depending on vintage.

Roll-In - Gravity fed sliding table. These can used as profiling or cutoff saws. Could easily replace the Harbor Freight as well as provide the sheet profiling capabilities we are looking for in a vertical. Larger footprint than a standard 14" saw, but not too heavy (~800 pounds). Other companies have similar models. http://www.rollinsaw.com/band_saws/EF1459_vertical_band_saw.htm
