craftsman band saw using a wood blade seems to work best for boards. metal blade works best for transformer copper. not sure what the original use for the tub, but it looks kind of like a throw away cement mixing tub 8 inches deep about 36 by 24.
Itried to do the transformer without changing the blade but the tooth array throws the wire all over the place. the metal blade at about 2400 rpm works great, it drops the wire right into the tub.
