I'm currently building a wooden cabinet that looks like Pinkie Pie. It has a lot of curves and tight angles, so I looked at bandsaws a few months ago. They were all too expensive. I've made do with a jigsaw instead.
But none of the bandsaws at the hardware store looked like anything like this! Core77 has the rundown on this amazing power tool from MD Dario, an Italian company that specializes in bandsaws for wood and marble.
It can cut through large blocks of wood and/or fingers from just about any angle you want. So it overcomes all of the space limitations of table-mounted bandsaws. It also has a template function so that you can trace the blade movement along a pre-existing model.

Yes, bandsaws seem especially scary that way.

That's true. I recently made a set of jigs to turn my hand router into a table router. But it adds more time to a project. Sometimes I'd rather have the real tool available.

My brain said "want" but my fingers said "no way, buster! We like being attached to the hands"
