The only downside to a band saw is that if you need to cut a hole in something, you need to break the blade and weld it up again - Then to remove the part, it must again be broken and rewelded.
You could nail it back together (I use 9 inch nails and a 28 lb sledge hammer) if you don't mind the fact that you lose a bit of smoothness as the blade revolves.
