Need help finding band saw - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

First off, if this doesn't belong here, sorry mods, please put it in the proper place.

I have always wanted a vertical metal band saw for projects and fab work. Can anyone suggest a good all around model to go with? Obviously bigger and more powerful is better, but I could probably do fine with a nice bench top model. I have also seen some guys swap around the pulleys on wood versions and convert them to a metal cutter. I like the idea of saving money this way, but I would rather find a new metal version that I can afford, lets say no more than $500. Is this possible?
