milwaukee metal saw

[tigmusky]

so you need to buy x-mas gift for yourself.
The milwaukee 8'' metal cutting saw, is awsome I picked one up a few weeks back at the local welding /steel yard for about $260. bucks a little spendy but, alot cheaper than a plasma cutter. I still want a plasma! blades are alittle pricey too about $50. to $60.bucks I think? have'nt bought any yet.
Last night I broke out the new saw for the frist time. I started cutting up an old 250 gal. fuel oil tank for a smoker project. The thing cut throught 12 ga. like butter .Today I cut up a 2nd tank. I figure I've cut close to 65 feet of 12 ga. and still cuttin like the frist cut. The saw is like a wood saw, you can get a fence for rips or clamp a 2x4 or staight edge for a guide. Nice clean staight cuts no worrys about wraping. cool, dry cuts.
Safty Glasses and ear plugs are a must,as they should be.
to Milwaukee to the 6370 metal saw

Tigmusky,

I would have to agree with you on the Milaukee Brand in general. I also have that same 8" Saw and I alos picked up a Drill and i love them both. I will admit it is a little loud but with out a torch or plasma how esle are you going to make the same cuts.

Are the dec. managable with ear muffs or do you need to use double hearing protection?

Not to bad. ear plugs or muffs are find , for some reason the battery Dewalt one at work is twice as loud as this one?? blade size maybe???

I agree, Although I don't have that particular model , I have the 14" Milwaukee carbide tipped metal cutting saw and an evolution 9" metal cutting saw, & a cordless metal cutting saw.

Dry Cut metal saws are the best!
