I personally do not have the luxury of a chop saw or a vertical band saw. Not yet anyway. I had an abrasive chop saw a few years ago, and it too just collected dust. I make pretty much all of my cuts now with a portable band saw. If I am just chopping down material to a workable size,or reducing a large object to small usable pieces I will use the sawzall. And yes, hand grinders with cut off wheels are not in short supply either. I use the plasma when I need to cut an odd contour that I cannot duplicate practically with a cutting tool. I use a variable speed jigsaw to cut sheet and diamondplate and stuff. Not to hijack the thread, but have any of you guys ever seen or used this "dual saw" I have seen on television? here is a link to it. https://www.newdualsawquadforce.com/...?rtag=dualsaw& I am seriously thinking about buying one of these. What do yall think?
