The metal cutting bandsaws currently in the shop (Johnson and Harbor Freight) are vertical bandsaws, which are designed for cutting long stock into smaller pieces. For cutting metal plate into smaller pieces and for cutting curves, we need a vertical bandsaw. The Delta 14" vertical bandsaw in the wood shop is not suitable for cutting many types of metal because the blade speed is much too fast.
The cold metals area at PS1 is currently well stocked to work with materials that are already cut down to small sizes (sizes less than about 6"x6"). However, most bought materials do not come in sizes this small. The natural solution to this problem is for PS1 to invest in a vertical bandsaw.
