Been cutting aluminum on a regular chopsaw for years. 1/4" thick angle was a bit too much(or I fed it too fast).
Anyone have experience with a good slow speed non-abrasive chop saw?
Bandsaw is getting old for cutting ferrous stuff too.

That is slow enough and exactly what I was looking for.Have only abused this one. I have them at both my shops and they are used damned near every day. Not a slow speed saw though now I re read your request.

I'll have to check Monday when I get in. We do almost exclusively 90° cuts for angle iron, round stock and flat stock to repair liftgates and box framesThat is slow enough and exactly what I was looking for.
Looks like it has a quick release on the vise rod. Does it have detents on the angle stop?
Even my bandsaw pits heat into the piece.Tripped me out the first time I used it too. Picked up the fresh cut with my bare hands and not even a little heat in it. 4 years and only replaced the blade once and I assume that's because the guys don't let the tool do the work for them and rush the cuts
They look and act similar to the clamp on an abrasive saw and on my horizontal bandsaw. Generally the higher quality the saw the better the clamp assembly. I have an abrasive saw that I hate but the clamp is good. Old DeltaDo any of those kinda saws have a good clamp/vise tho? Haven't used many but i've yet to use one with a clamp that's even decent imo much less okay - good
Jealous! Now how did you manage to find room in the garage for that beauty?I like buying tools older than me. This vertical band saw is sweet View attachment 48530View attachment 48531View attachment 48532
