The motor in these saws puts out higher torque than standard floor chop saws, so they slice through angle iron, tool steel, and other thick, hard materials. They can also run continuously for longer than standard floor chop saws. With a strong base made from steel, these saws are designed to hold up in rugged environments like foundries and metal fabrication plants. They’re great for sawing through metal bars and pipes, cutting tool steel rods to length, and trimming down raw stock before milling it in a CNC machine. Use with abrasive wheels (not included). These saws must be hardwired.
