I am thinking about buying one but, at 450 bucks, I kind of would like to see if any body has had any experience with one.
They call them a cold cut saw, un like the cut off saws that uses a rough abrasive wheel.
This uses a 100 dollar carbide tip wheel, some can be re sharpened.
These machines rotate at about 1400/1500 RPMs, where as the cut off machines rotate at about 3500 RPMs.
Amazon has the two I would purchase for $444 and about $435 for the Dewalt.
I watches some Youtube videos on them, I was really impressed.
I am getting sick using my SawZall to make straight cuts.
