Title: Milwaukee Metal Cutting Circular Saw
Post by: KensAuto on May 20, 2020, 03:58:32 PM: Been eyeing these for a while.
8", 15 amp.

I cut some 1/2" scrap plate for future use as bases for awning posts.
With the new blade it cut faster than my 45 plasma cutter, with no clean up needed on the cuts.
The 8" channel cut like butter... MUCH better than an abrasive saw.

Awesome tool!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200520/ffca63ca0d5dafef1e612292f2490626.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200520/ae83c0a5d29f2af32b3ec9e79fc0f49f.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200520/d599562888e86d06a69946ee7471ccf4.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200520/1a3cf2530e797ba0151108a682a3221d.jpg)

They also have an 18v version.

I/2 inch is crazy,

Conventional chop saw spins around 3600 rippums. A "cold" saw spins about half that.

I watched Andrew C. on utube cut 1" plate, and some huge I-beam with his circular saws, so I was finally sold on the idea.

I can’t find the one I need. It’s cut a lot. And 1/2” plate, pipe, all kinds of angle.

If I find one I’m going to buy a few.
Once it dulls you know about it.

I don’t think you need a lot of them.
