The cutting discs provide plenty of dust and debris, the area around mine is deep in fine black dust, I should imagine a bandsaw would be the cleanest regarding pollution of the work area it is housed in.
There's always a powered hacksaw/donkey saw if on a budget Always see them cheap enough on eBay there's not much to go wrong and the swarf ends up in the chip tray.
Mine cost £0.99
Not a typo.
Bandsaw or power hacksaw as above for minimal mess - and minimal noise too. You can also leave them cutting while doing something else.
Abrasive wheels leave a really horrible mess.
There are cheap 6x4 bandsaws available if you keep your eyes open and are happy with second hand, they're pretty decent.
Old power hacksaws such as the one shown above are also very good, the hard part tends to be finding and moving one.
I noté.. I will look for one of those, my problem being I only have 220v mono, professional machinery most often need 380 tri or 3x220.,I know I can buy a "box" allowing 3phases output but will it be strong enough?
Thanks for the tips.
The space is also an eventual problem
But I understand that so many small industries are closing, equipment is available second hand (brokers are on the market, too)
There are some power hacksaws already converted to single phase, or at least they are found in this country. Or you can change the motor, or use a cheap inverter to power a 3ph one without much work.
It may be a good idea if you tell us what material and size you cut, probably will help with the suggestions of what's suitable, most of us use 240v single phase.
Hello, I doubt I need to cut extra thick tubes, see what is used to make a table, a dolly, no intention to cut plain steel I shaped vars, for instance or only thin ones, a few cm large.
