FAQ

Can you cut a concrete block with a circular saw?

• Our cut-off saws are designed to cut through all kinds of tough materials such as cement, metal and asphalt. We have multiple sizes available depending on the cutting depth you need.

What size cut-off saw do I need?

• We offer a range of cutting depths for our cut-off saws. Our 12 in. saw has a cutting depth of up to 4 in., our 14 in. saw has a cutting depth of 5 in., and our 16 in. saw has a cutting depth of 6 in. All three of these cut-off saws would cut through rebar and asphalt easily. If you need a cutting depth of more than 6 in., check out our street saws.

Can I cut aluminum with a miter saw?

• A miter saw with a blade made to cut non-ferrous metals can cut through aluminum, but it may eject a lot of sparks that could be uncomfortable or dangerous. However, our cut-off saws will cut through many types of metal.

Can I use a metal cutting blade on an abrasive chop saw?

• Yes, you can use a metal cutting blade on an abrasive chop saw - or cut-off saw - just be aware that this could cause a lot of sparking during use, so use proper precautions. Check the rating of the blade and chop saw before using it on metal. We have multiple options available. 

Can I use an abrasive chop saw to cut wood?

• Yes, you can cut wood with a chop saw, as long as you use a woodcutting blade. Metal-cutting blades differ from woodcutting blades. Metal-cutting blades actually grind through metal and concrete, rather than cut. Woodcutting blades on miter saws have teeth that bite into the wood and cut through it.
