opinion on this saw please

[greek]

i'm welding for the last 8 months & i thing i'm doing fine tig & arc but the only way to cut metal is a grinder.so i'm looking for a saw for mild steel and stanless steel and saw this,http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120549254777&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT it is limited in sizes that will cut,i know this but my main problem is :will it cut stainless?
if any one knows any other metal saw in this price range 120 shiped to Greece let me know
its good to have someone to share your problems!!

It won't include shipping, and I haven't tried cutting stainless with mine, but for the price it a brilliant cut off saw. there are other saw on this site as well...

i've seen evolution saws already but the better price i've seen is about 200 gbp
for this price i almost can buy a cheap band saw like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sealey-SM5-Ba..._Metalworking_Supplies_ET?hash=item2c542669a8
another brand but they all are chinese copies
an evolution saw will cost 400-500 euros in Greece
do you beleive that the above band saw will cut stainless??

Not seen thoose before, Triton is a reasonably respected name in woodworking i believe.

I know with the evolution ones, they sell a stainless specific blade to fit them. No idea as to whether the triton also does that.

Bandsaws shouldnt have a problem cutting the stainless as long as you fit a good quality blade.

i did a search in triton & saw this saw in 300-400 range from a years back post so for this price is a steal but then again i haven't found many reviews on it from specs it has 7 1/4 blade with 20mm bore so it will not work with evolution blades

 

[Hitch]

The blades for the handheld rage saws are 185mm iirc... (7 1/4")

Here you go Greek...

I would think the 180 instead of 7 1/4" would be adequate, without loosing capacity.

 

[greek]

the 185 has 16mm bore so it won't fit & this saws capacity is 2'' so i dont want to loose it.....maybe a bandsaw will be a better tool..?

 

[Hitch]

The stainless cutting blade is 20mm bore though... i know what you mean on the capacity though....

i also don't like the small line at the end or the page that say ''stainless capable''

If it helps i had a stainless blade for my evolution , expensive and didnt last long at all , it obviously didnt like the thin walled tube i was cutting .
wouldnt buy any evolution tool now
oh and their made in china

cheers mike
