I currently only have a coping saw and a mitre saw. Because of this I have only purchased 1/8 scale material. I would like to be a little more flexible with my wood choices, which means I need to be able to cut larger pieces.

Should I get a tablesaw or a bandsaw for this? I was initially thinking of a tablesaw, since it is pretty frickin' useful, but recently I have been thinking about a bandsaw because it would do the job plus allow me to potentially do some scroll type work.

Any suggestions either way?
