So today I gave it a workout, cutting the factory exhaust system, hangers and all off a Suburban. I made a bunch of cuts, making several in rapid succession. THe saw heated up, but never stalled nor really slowed at all. It's as powerful as my Hitachi corded saw which I have had for many years.
I went through 2 6" heavy metal blades cutting the stainless over and over. The saw seems unaffected by it all. For me, it was worth $50 just to have that exhaust off that easily, so I have to give this saw a solid endorsement. May it find peace and contentment and lots of stuff to chew on for years to come.
