While picking up some aluminum, I broke down and purchased a Rage 2 cold saw. I have been eyeing it for a while. The steel shop has a number of them in use and the guy on the floor spike positively about it.
I cut 1", 2" steel and 3" aluminum with it over the weekend. Cuts steel with no effort. The steel has no heat add due to the cut. The blade also was no warmer after 5 cuts through the 1" & 2". The bits if dwarf flying every where are CRAZY hot. Ouch!
Cutting the aluminum is slower than steel due to gumming up the teeth. This was avoided by cutting slower.
Overall, I am very pleased for $279 new.
