Score!!! MK Morse Metal Devil Saw

[Mr onetwo]

I have been looking for a 14" cold-cut chop saw for a while and I finally got 1 for what I think is a great deal!$155 plus a little shipping.It arrived today and is almost brand new,although it has no blade.Now I need to find a Freud Diablo blade for it, build my version of Yorkiepap's (over on WeldingWeb) stand and get rid of that hateful,miserable abrasive saw I have! Does anyone here have this saw?Any comments are appreciated.

Can you put a toothed blade on that??!!

That is what it is made for...Morse has blades too, but they are muy expensive!The PO had the wrong blade in it.I like the clamp on this saw...very rugged and you can get v-blocks for it!

I like the stand concept. Looks like a nice unit, vise does look robust for that style of saw. Looking forward to seeing pics of your stand build.

how the v-blocks setup

Didn't know that. So what's keeping me from using this on my abrasive type saw?

You have to check the RPMs on the saw compared to that blade. I don't remember which one it is but I believe the saws made to run the carbide blades have higher RPMs than the standard abrasive saws.
If you were to run that blade on a standard saw you would destroy that blade.

This saw is made only for carbide toothed ferrous metal blades....the PO had the wrong blade in it.It runs at 1300 RPM.

Abrasive saws typically run at 4000 RPM...way too fast for cold cut/dry cut blades.

I've used that same saw. It works well. Strong clamp, no wobble in the pivot arm. The Morse blades seem a little fragile, prone to chip or loose teeth. That may be the operators, though.
You got a deal.

I know this is an old thread but could you give a follow up?

I wonder if this would be OK if one used a pressure washer shooting water into the cut as a coolant.

I would wear very tall rubber boots to avoid electrocution, plus I can use them on the ewes later.

please make a movie

I'd rather use a horizontal band saw for cut-off work. For really heavy stock, a dedicated cold saw with a coolant system works better.

Of the sawing or the ewes? Can I keep my **** mustache?

For general steel fabrication I'll leave you so far in the dust with your bandsaw you wont know what happened.
I've only used my horizontal bandsaw a few times since going dry.
When I do use it it's to cut bundled steel. Say 400 pickets of 3/4-1" box for an ornamental fence job.Band a bunch together and whack them.

Thanks.

Zeke. Consider this blade for the abrasive rig
