New toy.

[Rubber Duck]

Me got new toy to play with, a 230 volt version.

Already had a play with it, does what it says on the tin. Cuts cleanly and straight. So will be able to get on with some projects that are floating around my head now.

A man can never have too many toys.

Personally, I'd love to have space for a small lathe.

No need to be sexist... the same is just as true of girls

Does it cut angle iron and box section OK without coolant?

£52 for a new blade

It's economical too, offering up to 1000* cuts in mild steel box section before a replacement blade is needed.

That works out to approx. 5p a cut

Slightly cheaper blades available here...

Apparently the blades can be sharpened. I don't know how much it costs because I haven't got there yet. My blade is still cutting good. Dry cut chop saws are great for non industrial settings.

Here's a video (that's been posted here before) showing a dry cut saw in action.
