This saw is a monster!! I've been using it to cut 24" diameter pipe that is 1/2" walled , I made a jig that I put on the pipe and it has magnets to keep it in place , then I guide the saw along side it and it's a perfect cut every single time !! I've had it for about a month now and just ordered a spare blade for it , I know as much as I use it that day will come that I'll need to change it , I also have a evolution mitre saw that has a 14" blade and have had that for prolly 8 years now and you would believe how many cuts I get out of a blade on that thing , I think I'm only on my 3rd or 4th blade on it in alm that time, thousands of cuts !!I'd say don't even think about it anymore , just get one , and you'll think how did I ever get away with not having g this awesome tool !!

Solid performer. Fence is slightly flimsy (plastic), the cut gauge is like learning a new language. I bought spare 8.25" Olsen steel cutting blade. I think I can send them out to resharpened. Collects about 80% of the chips. Wear gloves, the reservoir gets hot from the chips. Cuts smooth as glass. Very noisy, wear earplugs

Highly recommend this saw if you have a lot of heavy metal to cut. I used mine on some 1/2 inch plate, as long as you take your time it's no problem. I'd say it's a lot quicker cutting speed compared to a torch and a much cleaner cut.

I have been using this to build an OHV tent trailer, and it has been very useful. Most of my cutting involves square tubes up to 2x2 inches with a 1/4-inch thickness. I found that it doesn’t cut very square when used freehand, but I easily fixed this by building a simple cross-cut jig. The jig not only ensures square cuts but also makes repetitive cuts fast and easy.I would have given it 5 stars if the included blade had lasted longer. I’m considering building a jig to sharpen the old blade for future use alongside the replacement blade I purchased.

Great saw, cuts metal like butter!

I used the 7.25 version for a couple years, but finally burned it up. Im not blaming it at all, i cut a ton with it, including 1.25" solid steel plate. I finally ordered the 8.25, and was real happy with it. The new chip shield/ collector reduced the amount of chips that hit you by a lot, i only had a few burn me. Also the light a shadow line are a nice addition. I opened it and immediately ripped around 50 linear feet of 1/4" steel with zero issues. If you run a fab shop, this os definitely a time saver, and gives a clean finish. Just a heads up, it is extremely loud. I usually work with noise canceling earbuds, so it doesnt bother me.

These just dont hold up. It burned up after only a couple short cuts literally. My other saws cut circles around this.

I have used this time and time again. Very pleased
