Thanks, guys.

I didn't see this from an infomercial but H.F. email.

So, I take it that no one has one.

No one admitted so in my thread, either.
Some inneresting threads on this on alt.home.repair, as well, altho more
bickering than discussion goes on there.

Keep in mind that I routinely cut 1" thick solid alium, up to 3" thick, on a
radial arm saw, with a fine-tooth 10" blade, from HD -- a two or three blade
pack for about $30.
Be aware of the diffs in climb/conventional cutting, and a cupla safety
issues, tho. Best to to cut thick material conventionally, which in a RAS
means pushing in to the material against the stop -- much greater control,
altho you gotta make sure the blade doesn't lift/throw the material.

There is a video of a shop class instructor cutting mebbe 4 or 6" solid alum
with a circular saw.... wow.....

Also, keep in mind, when all else fails, use abrasive blades. Walters makes
wheels for alum grinding, I'm sure there are abrasive blades for alum
cutting. Just like for ceramics, etc.

Bottom line is, imo, the dualsaw is an absolute ripoff, a kind of "pointless
technology".
No one else here seems to get their panties in a bunch the way I do over all
this, but a ripoff is a ripoff, a mind**** is a mind****. All of it is an
outrage, and imo is part and parcel of the Global Economic Ass****ing.

Does anyone have this 5" Double Cut Saw SKU 68316? If so, what do you
think of it, especially for steel and aluminum? I have other devices
to cut each but it would be nice to have something like this if worth
a flip.

I know that are metal cutting circular saw blades but they are
expensive.

Thanks for any comments.
