Band Saw

[AR-15]

Anybody use one for cutting up Beef, Pork, Deer?

I would LOVE to have the room for something like that.

Have one, works great, bitch to clean so the job has to be worth the effort. Cutting up a ham in 30 seconds and then spending the next hour cleaning the saw doesn't qualify as worth it. Having a realistic set of expectations and actual uses makes a world of difference for this particular piece of equipment. Cutting up one deer is borderline worth the cleaning. Doing two 250 lb hogs or something of equal weight, Yep, all day. Just food for thought.

100% agree bought one cheap years ago, I have a big shop so I and a group of us butcher all kinds of animals. Cleaning as said not fun.

Same goes for meat grinders and slicers. Better have enough meat to make the cleanup worth while.

I have a homemade one that needs a new 1 HP motor I'd be willing to sell for a fair offer. Haven't used it in years since I hardly ever draw a tag anymore. Worked awesome when cutting up multiple deer though.
