[TheForge] RE: Chop Saw; carbide blade

[Washington, Aubrey O.]

Thanks.  So far I don't use the chop saw enough to invest in the expensive carbide blades.  But, someday I may consider it.  I hate the noise and mess of a chop saw, but it's the quickest way to do some jobs.

Aubrey,

I think you can use a carbide on any heavy duty chop saw if it is the
correct size. Wiregrass Forge is replacing the abrasive blade with a carbide
blade. Don't cut stainless with a blade made for mild steel- it will dull
it.

Lee,

Can you put a carbide blade in any chop saw?  Or do you need a special saw
to use the blade?

I used my new carbide chop saw for the first time
today. Wow, almost no noise, no flying debris or
sparks. Amazing. I had no idea. plus a narrow clean
kerf. Im a slow learner.
