A friend who made a killer bumper for trucks & other off road
vehicles, Paul Rickard, had a little German made, I think, chop saw
that was a beautiful machine. Very precise. Carbide blade and it seems
from my memory almost every part of it was machined rather than metal
stamped. Had an integrated coolant system too. Think it ran on 220 and
might have even been 3 phase. Anyone have an idea of what it was??

They are called cold saws..... very precise. No sparks and quiet!

Precise, maybe- but quiet? The one we've got at work is about the
loudest cutting tool I've ever heard! Kind of a man-killer with that
handle, too.

Could just be that particular saw, or the blades we've got for it, but
I prefer a well-tuned bandsaw any day.
