Other than being a tough sumbitch, what advantages would this saw have over a newer band saw? Cheaper blades? Precision? Brute cutting force?

Just curious.
To get the same size current manufacture bandsaw, I'd be looking at least $500 if not much more. A power hacksaw isn't known for it's speed in cutting but for it's accuracy. They are also excellent for cutting tougher materials due to lower blade speeds.

Plus it's just cool to watch
