Right now this is hypothetical since I have other priorities for the money, but eventually I'm going to get some kind of cutting tool other than the 4" angle grinder that I currently use.

In my dreams right now are a Oxy/Acetylene cutting torch or a 14" Cut-off saw. I see myself doing some light fabrication including some implements. Maybe a backhoe, maybe a dump trailer. Mostly my metal fabrication will be limited to repairs and small mods to my existing equipment.

I see the biggest advantage of the cutting torch to be versatility...Cut, braze, heat for bending, weld. I see the biggest advantage of the Cut-off saw to be precision...good clean cuts, precise angles. They both seem to be in about the same price range. There's the consumable gas with the torch and the consumable blades with the saw.

I'd like to know from members who have either or both of the tools mentioned. Which is best if I can only have one, and why.
