Wondering should I sell my chop saw (rigid) and use money toward swag table set up or keep chop saw and get table/saw like swag uses? Can get decent $ for my chop saw so would help with new purchase.
 
I sold my chop saw to buy a used little horizontal band saw. The SWAG table setup is nice but IMO isn't quite apples to apples with your chop saw as far as the jobs you'll use it for.
My point is a chop saw and horizontal band saw serve similar purposes.
A chop saw and a "freehand" portable band saw isn't quite the same.
 
so if in a small 2 car garage just hold onto the chop saw just in case?
 
Not sure about the smaller Portaband solutions, but I almost never use my chop saw since getting my 4x6 band saw. It mainly sees use only for stuff that is too hard for a band saw (cutting up broken axle shafts), or too impractical to take into the band saw, for which I now have a Portaband.
