Makita LC1230 12" Cold cutting metal saw. Not a true cold saw, but pretty damned close. I've bought the lower end portable band saws and they're fine for rough cuts on light sock - but if you need to cut up a batch of angle iron or steel for welding projects - and you want consistent cuts that don't take all day - you'll LOVE one of these saws. I've had mine for a year and the original blade is still going strong.

Buy this and you can thank me later.
This thing is tremendous. It looks like a chop saw, but it uses a carbide-tipped sawblade instead of an abrasive disc. Cuts steel in seconds, leaves a clean edge, doesn't heat up the stock like an abrasive saw.
