A Look Into The Metal Cutting Saw

By Kyle Loroft

A Panasonic EY3530 Metal Cutting Saw has been seen as very cute, but doesn't portray its usefulness on a real life job. This is very wrong. There are cordless metal cutting saws used in most trades that you can see at any job.

What saws are they?

A cordless metal cutting saw is a circular saw which spins a metal blade tipped in carbide at a specific RPM. Usually, this kind of saw will include a guard to prevent metal shavings from flying into the air. You can cut through mild steel with these saws, and the cuts will be cool and clean. In fact, one of the best stories involves a salesman entering the offices of a potential customer, revving up the saw and cutting straight through a threaded rod and threading on a nut - all prior to this customer kicking him out of his office. This, as it turns out, was a very effective sales technique in many instances.

So what materials can cordless metal cutting saws work on?

Any mild steel, like threading rod, unit-stud, metal siding, EMT pipe, and duct work can be cut by cordless metal cutting saws. You can also purchase blades for aluminum. It is not recommended, but some people have used them on copper. The most common thing these saws are used on threading rod, strut, and EMT pipe. You will get a better cut if you get a blade with more teeth if you are cutting thin metals.

Who makes these saws?

The Panasonic EY3530 is a very popular metal cutting saw, but other types can be purchased from Makita, Milwaukee, DeWalt, and other companies. If you own a cordless circular saw already, there are blades which are carbide tipped which you can purchase. Tenyru is a popular manufacturer for these. Still, tools which have been created exclusive for the purpose of cutting metal will perform the best for this purpose - though many customers who use Bosch are also successful using this type of blade with their saw. Try them out!

You can usually return cordless power tools within 30 days, no questions asked. I tell all my customers about this policy, but none of them have ever returned a tool. You should try out the Panasonic EY33530 Metal Cutting Saw. - 33381
