This is my first metal chop saw and I gotta say that I was pretty blown away with the saws ability to cut whatever I put in its way. I cut a piece of Sch 80 4” pipe like it was a 2x4. I cut out welding test straps and ended with a near machined surface. I cut all the pieces for a simple welding cart like they were made out of cardboard. So far I’m super pleased. It’s a great tool to have in your arsenal and opened up a lot of possibilities for my garage shop.
