Default would you recommend 14" saws over 10" saws ?

I can see myself making maybe 50 to 100 cuts of the 8020 extrusions in the
near future. If I get to the point of making more then I would be willing to
invest in a more expensive saw if there is good compensation for the extra
expense. I would also very likely be using it for some moulding & trim work
now and then.


I use a fair amount of 80-20 type extrusion (usually Item), and rarely
cut it myself. Though you can make clean, accurate cuts with the methods
described, I find it's well worth doing an accurate design and having
the factory do the cutting. Item charges $1.50/cut, with no premium on
the cost of the material. At $20-$40/meter for the extrusion, I prefer
to let the vendor make the mistakes.
