They look like abrasive saws, but run at 1/2 the RPM and twice the
torque.

Ernie--how do abrasive wheels do in the dry-cut saw? I seem to
remember you recommending them for stainless, but can't recall
which saw you were using. I've got a 14" Dewalt dry cut saw.

Really well, but if you have been using stick wax as a cutting lube the
sparks from the abrasive wheel will smoke out the wax residue inside
the blade guard.
It will produce quite a bit of smoke.

Dry-cut saws have a much stronger frame and pivot system, so the
abrasive wheel doesn't deflect as much.

It gives very straight cuts.
I sometimes swap in an abrasive wheel when cutting a lot of thin wall
stainless steel tube.
That stuff tears up dry-cut blades.
