Default What's the deal with HF?

Piece of crap???? I'll take a guess that you've never owned one...

I've had mine for about 3 years now and it's the best $129.99 I ever

spent.
This little saw does everything I ask of it. It might not be as fancy as
the expensive units but it will cut the same metal every bit as straight

as
anything else out there.


The tinfoil base sucks, but I was out there today using the cutting part to
make a base for the new saw. From what I've seen so far, I'm impressed.
Not fast, but cuts straight with less slag, sparks, noise, and dust than the
old chop saw. Will be finishing up the stand tomorrow, and then on to
finishing some wrought iron projects I am on.

I am really interested in seeing what it will do cutting multiple square
tubes. Figure it should take a bit, but I can be deburring them and
cleaning them while the next bunch is cutting. I will have a bunch of
spindles to cut, too, and want to see if I can cut bundles of four or nine
1/2" tubes at once.

Even if I can choke it down, and it won't cut all I can feed into it, I like
this little saw so far.
