Not for steel

Doghook, TestFreaks
4 January 2013
  • Excerpt: Saw does not cut metal as advertised, blade was ruined after cutting 15 pieces of 3/16 x 1/2" 304 stainless. I have been waiting 2 weeks for an RMA # to return saw, save yourself the trouble. I own 30+ Dewalt tools in my fabrication business and after this experience I will never buy another.

  • Summary: Cuts great, if you take proper care to go slow. If you're used to a using an abrasive type wheel you will be tempted to push too hard and ruin the blade.
