I have a Wilton cut off saw with coolant.. About 5 ft long goes through anything
I have put in it like peanut butter. Will cut a 6X4 of aluminum bar stock like a
2x4 stud Just zip and it is over. same for steel as well and you don't have to
stand there and play with it if it is a big piece it has an auto feed for the
blade. It will flip up like a band saw that is ok but not a DoAll by any stretch
of the imagination either. Quality tools are the only way to go in the end they
last a lifetime.
