Whats the best abrasive metal cut off saw for the money ? Does anyone have a preference on cut off wheel size ? I have put the makita and milwalkee machines to the head of the line at the moment (arount $200.00 ) unless I find a used one.

Thanks Bill

Hi Bill , I worked at a factory that fabricated everything with heavy steal. They had some big comercial chop saws. But they had 14" milwaulki chop saws all over the place. The one thing I noticed about the milwaulki was that RPM'S would sometimes heat the steal to hot when I was about 1/2-2/3 ways through the tube I was cutting. The heat would harden the steal. At that point , it would not cut any further. Like I said , it was heavy tubing(industrial boiler work). I had to force the saw , which realy over worked the motor.If I hesitated at all , the steal would heat up to much. Now , having this in mind , when I bought mine , I bought a Royobi. It had lower RPM'S. I do have some of that heavy steal at home. While cutting it with my Royobi , I never had the steal heat up and harden it self before I was all the way cut through. So the bottom line is: buy a chop saw with lowest RPM'S you can find. Make sure it has a cast iron base. You will want one with a 14" blade(most common). And with out looking at mine , I believe a 15 amp motor.

Bought a Milwaukee a couple months back. Its OK but I am not completely happy with it. Same problem as the other posting . Also the table clamp is not real secure or accurate . Spend a few bucks more and get a saw with a solid tableand an accurate vice.
