Chop Saw

Yup, thats the bad boy. $275 isn't bad at all. I think we paid around $500 for the one we had a couple of years ago, when they were just out. Retail on them now looks like between $400-$425.

But watch out, you must be really careful with the blades and clamp down everything you cut. A new blade will cost you around $100...

humm,,,
i couldn't imagine cutting steel with a steel blade with teeth,

the kind i'm talkin bout is just an apoxy rock compound disk
they are ussually only a few dollars per disk,
you should be able to get them in any welding supply shop

Works great, quiet, cool, and no blast of sparks...

That looks just like my chop saw but with a metal blade.

Probably is.. Just with a little steeper price tag...

I think I asked this at Industrial Supply and was told that the motors are different. The abrasive style one had alot higher RPM's and the cold-cut style had more torque...? Could be possible...
