Re: Tool Advice: Cutting Aluminum

The cutting speed was indeed one of my questions. At least our vertical bandsaw would take a long time to get though 80/20 extrusion. If the cold saw is faster that would make my choice easy. Both are roughly the same price.

I don't have 220VAC available so I was looking at this saw from Grizzly or the Jet version. Any experience out there with these? Both end up being around $1,000 delivered. For those with 220VAC available there's a nicer option from Grizzly for basically the same price.
