Just a heads up, if anyone has been on the fence about the Tilt Arbor Saw, it's on sale now for $299.
Looking for a small saw which one would you buy and why , Byrnes or the Micro Mark?

Mark, I think you meant to say tilt arbor. That was a big decider for me in (finally) buying the Micro Mark saw. Byrnes has the tilting table, which in my mind could be a safety issue.
Hi Mark...which one: the Byrnes or the MM? I still have BS that I haven't opened. LOL
If your BS means a Band Saw, I'd certainly open it and play with it to see if it suits your needs. Having read many of your posts, I also suspect you like "Toys" (I certainly sympathize for that addiction) and have no issue with getting another! But a good band saw - even a table top may satisfy what you need. If you are getting into smaller segmenting, or just want to cut blanks/tubes with a small bench footprint, then either of these will suffice, as would a nice entry level Band Saw.
My wife says " Lo barato sale caro" which translates to "the cheap becomes expensive" this has helped me when I want to get a tool I use that saying and she agrees to let me spend a little more. But is very true.
