We got a new saw at work . Its a circular saw that cuts steel! Works just like a regular circular saw and is just about as fast thru steel as wood. Runs a bit slower than a regular saw and uses a spectal carbide tipped blade. Not real noisey either The cut pieces are cool to the touch when done. Turns the chips deep blue. Something about the way the teeth are shaped channels all the heat into the chips. Just zips thru channel, angle, tubing and pipe. Cuts plate up to 5/16 and goes thru flanges much thicker. Can be setup to miter and angle cut so you can just weld after you cut with out grinding. Cut edge has no burs or slag to remove. Really a slick tool.

Steel Max is the name on the blades. Different teeth counts for Steel, Aluminum and Stainless Blades. They claim you can run them in a regular circ saw but with less blade life. We have only had this one for a month so I can't say how long the blades will last. A blade costs about $75 or so as I recall. We got ours through our Certanium Welding supplier. Bought the whole package. About $500. We have about every way to cut metal known short of a Laser. This is the smoothest, cleanest and quickest way to cut metal I have seen so far. No sparks hardly. Small amount of chips that the saw has a catcher for. If it sounds like I like this tool I do. Now if I could just justify having one at home....

the blades are $48 for Mild steel
$53 for aluminium
$65 for Stainless Steel

We just came out with a thin metal blade that runs about the same as the mild steel blade.

My new Crapsman tool catalog has a Skil-type saw with two counter-rotating carbide blades for cutting steel. Sounds like an interesting concept, but for $150-plus, I'll let somebody else be the guinea pig.

Anybody tried one? My DeWalt chop saw does fine for what little cutting I do for straight cuts, but it'd be nice to be able to miter square tubing and such.

We got a milwaukee saw at work like the one you're talking about, pretty neat but for day to day use I prefer my metabo with a .045 x 6" dia abrasive cutting disc. Metabo uses an integral slip clutch so if the blade binds it doesn't come apart, at 8000 rpm it's a real workhorse. Pretty much anything from key stock, angle, tubing even up to 6" channel is fair game. If a feller was wanting a chop saw you could spend another $50 and take to tool to the work, vs the work to the tool. JMHO, Best Regards, Dean
