re: Band saw

I did like the 15deg. left tilt on the G055 as it is something I would find useful for the kind of work I do, and I also liked the lower speed on the G055 for cutting metals. The lower the better for that kind of work as far as I know. If rust is a factor in your shop, then the aluminum wheels and fence also seem like a good choice. I always find that the extra cost for good features is secondary to the benefits of better performance in the long-run.
