Hi guys, I picked up an old 12" Everett chop saw at a steal of a price from a metal shop.
I am planning to replace the grinding cut off wheel with a carbide metal cutting blade, along with either an inverter duty ac motor or a DC motor (I have both inverter vfd's and DC pwm drives).
Anyways, this led me to ask what, if any, difference is there with a dry cut saw vs a cold saw?
What is it about traditional cold saws that cause their prices to be in the thousands if $'s (other than being on a heavy stand/base)?
Thanks
Susan
