[TheForge] Any recommendations on cutoff saws? Brands, etc?

[Ron Childers]

That sounds like a wood saw blade unless the cutters are in line and
separated by 1/4" holes......If it looks like a wood cutting blade it
probably is, and that could get u killed.

The blade has big carbide teeth and looks like a big 
skill saw blade. It's a Jet.

If it ain't forged
it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
