Hi all,

Anyone else notice the $650 Circular Cold Saw in the last full HF
catalog? It's not in the stores and not on the website, but it's there
in the catalog.

Better yet, anyone buy one yet and have an opinion of it?

I saw the ad. I'd like to have a cold saw, but I'm a bit leery of
spending that kind of money without some good feedback
about the saw.

--A couple of important things to look for on a cold saw:

-How good is the filter on the coolant pump, and how hard is it to
get to, to clean it?
-How big is the sump?
-Is there a slip-clutch on the blade spindle and is it adjustable?
-Does it use "standard" blades, i.e. ones with 3 holes (2 to
engage drive pins)?
-Does it have 2 speeds?

--No doubt others will have other items to add to this list, but
these are a few things that come to mind when I think about my old beater.
And no, it ain't for sale.. ;-)

I see pretty decent used cold saws going for $500 or so on ebay, at least in
the NY area.
