Re: Wrecked Aluminium from chopsaw

Per my previous post:

After a go round with my Rigid saw this was what I bought.
The cuts are cleaner and obviously more thought toward cutting metal was put into it. A 4x more expensive cold saw would be even better and is my tool of choice but for a little late night tinkering this works for me.

Some of the Dewalt saws run at no load RPM near this.
Many of the cheaper saws run at higher RPM.

My other saw is a Harbor Freight bandsaw with a custom down feed system I made. There are instructions for this downfeed elsewhere on the Internet. I recommend this attachment it improves the quality of the cut and the aggravation of using the saw quite a bit.
