Just a little experience here. The bandsaw if poperly tuned will give excellant results. The table has to be square to the blade and the blade SQUARE to the cut vertically and in good condition and tensioned properly. Also the feedrate has to match the application. If all things are correct it will cut as straight and true as needed for a long long time. Now it is not always as fast as the others but over the long haul it is usally better. Unless you are wanting instant grits and need the cut instantly. One other tip when cutting tubing. Look for the welded seam and make that the bottom side. On a small saw it will make a difference.
