This is a Panasonic Metal Cutting blade, I have never tried one but I want to now after reading the comments.

I usually use the Milwaukee deep cut Portaband but it is heavy for small stuff.

I do have a couple of questions.

1)How much deburring do you need to do?

The band saw leaves a very clean cut.

2)How loud is it?

I work in finished buildings a lot and the band saw is the quietest way I know to cut pipe and strut.
