I agree on the 4-1/2 with cut wheel, I use mine all the time too... And I already mentioned that they are not all the same, not even at HF. In fact, there are at least 3 different variations of the basic HF 4x6 saw alone. I have what I believe to be the best of the lot (from HF) and, frankly, I see ...

Look at Ellis Saws. The 1400 or 1600 is right up your alley, but run from $2k+. I've just about talked myself into a much older 1500 at about half that cost (but had been partially reworked and in very good condition).

I do all manner of cuts vertical. Whacking a corner off a plate to speed up rounding on the grinder is common. Cutting a flex slot. Cutting something that doesn't fit in the vise/table config (too short, strange shape, flat plate on an angle, etc.). Cutting curves and compound/intersecting angles. A...

B. Never never NEVER! grind on the side of a regular grinding wheel because you greatly incresase the risk of having a wheel fly apart possibly with serious consequences. Only grind on the side of a wheel specifically designed for that purpose. Perhaps something has changed in the intervening decad...
