Re: Wrecked Aluminium from chopsaw

One of the most important things to consider for safety is using the right tool.

I, and the shop where my team works, recently got one of these: https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DW872-...metal+chop+saw

It runs at a considerably lower speed than wood chop saws, and holds the material where the saw is cutting down, not up. These two features make this saw inherently safer to use than a chop saw intended for wood. It provides a very nice cut in aluminum, steel, and even titanium.
