Default Re: Can a wood chop saw bw used for metal cutting?

Afternoon Harris,
A regular chop saw goes to fast. At work we use a Porter Cable metal chop saw 14" blade rated at 1600 rpm. Thats the right tool for the job. You might get away with it for awhile but I doubt it will last On ours, we have the support stands on each end along with adjustable stops. It is a neat setup.
