The best test I have seen as yet

I have the same chop saw Steelman S14 and also have the abrasive type saw as well. the drawback of abrasive leaves metal burrs and metal blades is clean cut but 10-15 times the cost of the abrasive blade.

Thanks for the video. I have a DeWalt cold saw and a really old Makita abrasive saw. I still use them both. Carbide blade for speed wins hands down. My abrasive saw I like because I can make free hand cuts without the vice. For the older low hp abrasive saw Sait makes some thin kerf blades that cut a little faster. They wear out quick but work better than others brands.

There's a guy here on KZread that used a plug-in-play fan speed controller off Amazon. He plugged it through to his abrasive chop saw, fitting a metal cutting carbide blade, dialed down the speed and chopped up the pipes with no issues. Just make sure you have the right arbour size blade and but the $30 controller.

I bought a Milwaukee dry cut saw when they first came out. Or at least they weren’t very popular yet. Anyway I’ve since given all my abrasive saws away! The other thing about a carbide blade that I think really makes it superior is how straight they cut compared to an abrasive blade. It’s no contest!

I’d have to agree. I don’t even use our abrasive saw anymore. I’d noticed that too with the abrasive blades that the cut would seem to walk sometimes and wouldn’t end up being very straight. I love my dry cut saw and wouldn’t ever go back to the abrasive one unless I had to. Hope all is going well in your neck of the woods!

@@LuthiRanchWY They walk bc they have nothing to keep them in line. An abrasive wheel is not something that is meant to hold a cut. IDK why they even made abrasive saws but it is what it is. You cant make a straight cut with one unless youre super experienced. With this saw anyone of any skill level can make a straight cut with safety in mind.

Great video. The mess from the abrasive blades!

I liked the Diablo blade but found it became blunt very quickly and have reluctantly gone back to an abrasive disc which, apart from the disadvantages you mentioned is also very messy in a small shop. I had the Diablo re-sharpened and tried cutting oil but the same occurred . This was annoying as I had bought the saw because it was the only one I could find here in New Zealand with a slow enough rotation rate for the dry cut blade. BTW your a hard man if you drive a Deutz without a cab in that weather!

Haha I do love our Deutz! Just wish it had a cab on it. I’ve felt like I’ve had pretty good longevity with my Diablo blades, they are expensive to replace though. Have you tried a different brand of blade? I would have a hard time going back to and abrasive saw! Where in New Zealand are you from? I spent a month there hitchhiking around and camping out when I was a bit younger

I’m curious, can one of those Diablo cutting blades work on a Milwaukee abrasive saw? Is the steel max geared lower to use the Diablo dry cut blades? Really enjoy your videos.

Thanks for watching. These dry cut saw blades will NOT work in an abrasive saw, they spin at too high of an RPM. These blades are made to be used with a dry cut saw which has lower RPMs

Hi, I make free standing corral pannels out of 2 7/8 pipe the only problem is cutting the pipe. I have an abrasive saw and that works but I don’t like it. When I was going to buy a dry cut chop saw I was told not to because old oil rod pipe can be damaged and be very tuff to cut through. Looking for options on what to buy to be able to cut it. Thanks!

I build free standing pannels also. I’ve built mine out of 2 3/8” pipe and I only use my dry cut saw to cut it and I’ve loved it. The blades are kind of expensive to replace but I seem to get between 200-300 cuts out of one.

Can you do a video on the size and how you built your shop

The shop is a 40’ by 50’. It came as a kit. My dad and grandpa put it up before I was born.

i bought into evolution metal saw and found it too expensive per cut, where i might get 50 cuts on a $20,$30 blade, all while spitting hot chips and shreiking at me. I retired that in favor of angle grinders and abrasive wheels, which also lightened my tooling inventory and shortened my setup time

No, because the two saws run at different RPM’s. The Diablo blade runs at much lower RPM’s, if you ran it at the speed of an Abrasive blade it might come apart and hurt someone.
