Hi,
I've got a titan chop saw that uses an abrasive disc, no load speed is 3000rpm.
The supplied disc is absolutely rubbish. Wobbles. Tends to take ages to make any progress on even basic mild steel scrap exhaust bits I tested with - ends up melting the metal! (Not even applying much pressure). I've cut a flat edge bar to see if it would clean up the blade in case I glazed it, made little difference. Total rubbish. Can you sense my frustration? Haha
My project entails having to make lots of pie cuts out 5mm mild steel tube and 1.6mm 316L stainless tube. I was thinking of switching to a tct blade but evolution blades limit to 1600rpm. Other generic tct blades suggest 3000rpm is ok at certain thickness, but 5mm material should be cut at 1600rpm and to avoid cutting stainless with them. Best to avoid a tct blade, then?
Should I just try a different abrasive blade? They're cheap enough, can anyone recommend one that will work decently please?
Thanks for reading
