They are an alternative to an accurate angle cutting bandsaw and a lot quieter than an abrasive chop saw. I have used them in several shops when doing handrailing. A good quality soluble cutting or saw fluid does the trick. You also have the choice of high speed steel blades or if you have the money carbide tipped blades. They are specifically designed for the machines. They are not fast cutting but deadly accurate and they give a burr free cut ready for assembly. Randy
I am looking around at differenct machines and came across what is known as a cold cutting circular saw. Looks like a chop saw but has a different type of blade that spins much slower.
Would you use the same type of cutting tool as on a horizontal mill that you wanted to use for slitting?
Are these machines at all popular? I was looking on web and found almost no info on them.
Thanks
