I have one. Its a horizontal bandsaw. I paid 1200 CND. I like it. Its a bandsaw too. The table is a little hoakyas you will see. The head swivels between, - 10 and about +190 degrees.
It has a 3 speed gearbox that can be switched in the fly. Its a nice rig I like it alot. Its made in Tiawan though. So... if you dont mind the offshore thing....

Nice saw. The pics are way too big, though. You should resize them so you can actually see the whole thing. I used Irfanview, a freebie, to do this resize. The new size is 480 x 640 and much easier to view....fwiw. They also load much faster at 55kb vs over 300kb.
Its called a "swivel" Give me until Sunday and Ill post some more pics. Im done for today. need sleep zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ellis 1600 Mitre Band Saw features angle cutting, and one step conversion from horizontal to vertical band saw.
It should fit your bill, and is about in your price range. It is a top quality saw, will last you for years. Here's the 2nd best price I've found on one. The best was $2195 + shipping from southern MN, but he doesn't have an ad up right now:

at the plant, we use a WellSaw it is a real good machine. the one we have is a little bigger than what you spec'd but you should check them out. we also have a khama bandsaw for fast production cuts. it is extremely fast, faster than a multi-cut saw, which i was hard to believe. proof is in the pudding, i guess. i don't know the sites for either saw. we get them from the lws
Bert, the vast majority of the saws in that class are wet cutters. The 4x6 and 5x6 are dry cuts. When you get up to the heavier industrials, they have to be wet or the blade will not last long at all.

Did you mean dry?, Am I missing something? I saw a jet at a local store, I think it's a 7x12 wet or dry for $900. I LOVE the feature of making it vertical also!!!
thanks,

Maybe I should have said Wet/dry. When you get up to the med sized Ellis and Wellsaws, they be wet. All of the ones I see in operation are only wet. Saves on everything.

Monte, THANKS! Good to know!
DDA52, if it's good, why not get a wet/dry one? why dry only?(that's what I saw on the first post and the links that were given. I would think the industrial one cut at the same speed. Hmmm.. is it cause we don't cut as much? so, if we cut it dry, less mess and the saw blade will last long enough where we won't complain? If we cut more, use the wet option?
thanks,
bert
