Wrecked Aluminium from chopsaw

[fox46]

I'd love to hear why you think a chop saw DESIGNED for cutting metal is not the right way? That's your opinion and not a fact.

This is the internet- everyone has an opinion and everyone is an expert. It's why we have discussions like these.

How many times have you had or heard of a workpiece being picked up and shot across a room by a circular saw? How many times has the same happened with a bandsaw or recip. saw?

Have you heard of anyone losing fingers to a circular saw? What about bandsaws or recip. saws?

You can't deny the circular saw is far more dangerous than the other two.

Therefore, it is not the best option regardless of speed or convenience.

You're going to argue this by saying "it can be just as safe as long as *** and *** and you don't ***." Well each of these *** represents increased chances of something going wrong.

Ultimately you need to put safety before speed cost and convenience because nothing brings a build season to a screeching hault faster than a student getting hurt.
