If it is factory made what make and model is it?

Does it use an abrasive blade or some other type?

How easy is it to change blades?

Do you (or the person you know who has one) cut metal with it?

I also make a few teflon pins. It would be nice to be able to cut them
quickly and easily to specific lengths as well. If such a saw had a
toothed
metal cutting blade or could be quickly changed to a toothed blade it might
serve a dual purpose.

How about starting with the littlest wet abrasive tile saw from
harborfreight?
https://www.harborfreight.com/power-...saw-69230.html,
$55, 4.5" cutoff wheel, 5300 rpm. I haven't used it but it's rated 3.7/5
based on 142 reviews. They also have a couple of larger models you might
want to step up to, one still under $100.

That is an interesting variation of the Microlux/HarborFright design saw
paired with a measuring jig. It wouldn't work for my application, but it
does give me some nice simple ideas for cutting wire pins as needed.
Thanks.

(Well, and some other saws depending on which one.)
