It has definitely become one of my go to tools. The diablo blades are a bit cheaper than the milwaukee and seem to cut well. I do recommend having a spare blade on hand, once the teeth start to fail they go quick. Good luck with your new purchase and happy fabricating. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks for watching and commenting. The saw is really a beast. Pick up a extra blade to have on hand, when they dull out the won't cut a straight line. I have had good luck with the Diablo brand.
I cut a lot of thick aluminum. I usually cut 1-2" depths at a time up to 6" thick (backside). I have burn't up two "regular" circular saws from metal chips in the motors. Every video I have seen for this saw has been thru cuts where the chips can be thrown down. With that full cover, would chips get out somehow? I can have 4-5 lbs of chips in each cut. They have to go someplace. Alternative would be to screen up the motor of a much cheaper Pro Saw. (One of the dead was a Milwaukee. I could never keep the baseplate straight from the cutting pressures so really re-considering a Milwaukee investment.
The chips get collected. If your generating 5lbs of chips in a cut you’ll just have to take your time and empty the cover when it fills up. This is a killer saw I highly recommended it though.
We are in northern MN and it has been a bit chilly here at night for the last few weeks, the temp in the shop is running between 50 and 60 degrees F, I seem to be going back and forth a lot between sweat shirt and no sweat shirt depending on what I am working on, Thanks for watching and commenting.
just picked up one slightly used shocked how easy it cuts, years of sucking in black grinder disks and fine metal dust.. are gone. worth every penny

@@WoodNMetalWorkshop yes a spare is a good idea, considering what you are cutting. make sense when they go they go.. a spare most definantly
I swear i never would of imagined this thing cutting 1" thick plate, holy smokes im gonna buy one tonight

That's quite a piece of steel you have there! How much does that thing weigh anyway?
The full sheet comes in just under 1000 pounds.
Great video
Thanks for watching and commenting
What is the blade speed on it? Does the saw itself say? Thank you.
Online specs say 3700 rpm. Thanks for watching and commenting

The cover has a chip collector so I don't know how well it would work for you

thanks for the replay:)
so would you say this saw would cut stainless well?
Yes. But you need to get a higher tooth count blade for the blade to last
Thanks for the video.
Defender Chassis thanks, still waiting for your next one
Is this a worm drive motor?
Thanks
I believe it's a direct drive, it's a beast, One of the best buys for fabricating imo
