[TheForge] carbide chop saw (blades)

[Ron Childers]

There is also a hand held circular saw that is used in steel construction.
It's like a Skil saw and uses carbide blades, some of which can be put on a
regular carpenter's saw. There are also blades for 4 and 4&1/2" angle
grinders. Mike bought several pcs of this equipment at Madison in May. I'll
ask him about his experience with it. Ron C

The video may be for their 7-1/4" 8000 rmp blade ($14.50) in a circular saw
but they also carry a 14" 4400 rpm chop saw blade ($50.00). Given the rpm
rating its designed for a standard (as opposed to a lower speed "metal
cutting") chop saw but I'd still be really careful.
