This saw is a monster!! I've been using it to cut 24" diameter pipe that is 1/2" walled , I made a jig that I put on the pipe and it has magnets to keep it in place , then I guide the saw along side it and it's a perfect cut every single time !! I've had it for about a month now and just ordered a spare blade for it , I know as much as I use it that day will come that I'll need to change it , I also have a evolution mitre saw that has a 14" blade and have had that for prolly 8 years now and you would believe how many cuts I get out of a blade on that thing , I think I'm only on my 3rd or 4th blade on it in alm that time, thousands of cuts !!I'd say don't even think about it anymore , just get one , and you'll think how did I ever get away with not having g this awesome tool !!

I have used this time and time again. Very pleased

I used the 7.25 version for a couple years, but finally burned it up. Im not blaming it at all, i cut a ton with it, including 1.25" solid steel plate. I finally ordered the 8.25, and was real happy with it. The new chip shield/ collector reduced the amount of chips that hit you by a lot, i only had a few burn me. Also the light a shadow line are a nice addition. I opened it and immediately ripped around 50 linear feet of 1/4" steel with zero issues. If you run a fab shop, this os definitely a time saver, and gives a clean finish. Just a heads up, it is extremely loud. I usually work with noise canceling earbuds, so it doesnt bother me.

I have been using this to build an OHV tent trailer, and it has been very useful. Most of my cutting involves square tubes up to 2x2 inches with a 1/4-inch thickness. I found that it doesn’t cut very square when used freehand, but I easily fixed this by building a simple cross-cut jig. The jig not only ensures square cuts but also makes repetitive cuts fast and easy.I would have given it 5 stars if the included blade had lasted longer. I’m considering building a jig to sharpen the old blade for future use alongside the replacement blade I purchased.

Another fantastic product. I have cut 1/4 inch with ease, be sure to set your depth so your teeth on the blade stick out completely. If the teeth don’t stick out past the bottom of the material it will cut like crap and won’t clean out. My second go to tool. First one is the evolution metal miter box.

So I read through the reviews and thought people were being a little over the top with their reviews. That ended up not being the case, this saw cuts fantastic, if you can run a circular saw for wood you can run this saw through metal. It shows pictures of people cutting square tubing but it didn’t do very well through that in my opinion, chop saw is much better rated for that application. I cut up a 5’x10’ sheet of 3/8” steel plate like I knife through butter. The saw is very loud and throws metal chips everywhere so I recommend and face shield and ear plugs, rolling magnet makes clean up easy. When buying a replacement blade make sure to buy the 20mm bore blade that is the goofy size it takes. Great saw wish blades were a little cheaper.

Buy lots of blades. Made 6 cuts in mild steel and won't cut straight when it does cut. Blades are junk. I'm sure the saw isn't far behind from being the same.

Overall great product! Cuts as should, heavy and well made.
