.... My chop saw is aluminum, just like my miter saw. My point was intended more that after using it for metal-cutting extensively it wouldn't be much good for precision woodworking any longer... The metal-cutting chop saw isn't Al and after the years of use it has, if it were built like the miter saw it might still suffice for a chop saw but it certainly wouldn't be an accurate miter saw... But it gets farm repair use, not just the rare cut one light piece of metal that a strictly woodshop saw might get...but I don't think the miter saw would have held up even to some of the work the chop saw has done in its life... |

I have a dedicated 14 inch abrasive chop-saw that I got for nothing with a damaged handle. Handle and switch upgrade from Milwaukee cost me about $15. Does all the cutting I'll need. |

Somewhere I've got a picture of my then 12 YO son cutting a 3/4 steel rod on my old 10" Delta CMS. We were making parts for his Soap Box Derby car. He had already made dozens of cuts, so I was comfortable setting up the pictu I gave him a long rod so his fingers were no where near the blade. He lowered the disk into the rod just before I turned off the lights in the windowless shop and took a couple of pictures. His face was lit up by the orange glow of the shooting sparks. I gotta find that picture. |
