Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-01 Summary: Couldn't be any more pleased! ... I have been using this saw for approx 2 years in a farm shop. I cut everything from alluminum to hard steel. I have even cut 3 inch heavy wall tubing with this saw and still on the original blade and that is after making all the cuts for 280 foot of pipe fence just recently built. There is no burrs and the cuts are cool enough to handle after you make them. The best part is you don't loose any of your cutting diameter after several cuts like with the abrasive blades. I normally went thru 6-8 abrasive blades a year ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-02-22 Summary: Great if your patient ... 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. The cut finish is excellent. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-21 Summary: So far, so good ... Cuts very nicely. I like the fact that there are a lots less sparks to start a fire than a typical chop saw. Don't use the blade for cutting stranded cable though, as I learned. ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-26 Summary: Like a hot knife through butter ... I do metal work for a hobby and a sideline. Getting true, square consistent cuts has always been tedious and difficult.

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-11-05 Summary: Impressive ... I wasn't expecting alot out of this saw as I didn't expect to be able to cut metal well at all with a hand held saw. I was wrong, It is of the quality made famous by Milwaukee and will be used regulary. The orignal blade that comes on this unit is not worth squat. I almost looked into returning the saw until I took a chance and put on a Morse blade. Made the saw work properly and cut smooth and true. I recomend it. ...more

Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-01 Summary: Solid performer ... I used this blade in my $200 10" DeWalt chopsaw and the results were great. I cut quite a bit of 80/20 extrusions (1515, 1530, 3030) and everything turned out clean and accurate. I used my shop vac to catch much of the swarf. With cutting fluid, I got nearly polished cuts.

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2005-06-05 Summary: Quality blade, big time saver ... I bought the blade to cut 1/8" angle and bar aluminum. I just made about 30 cuts in about 45 minutes using my miter saw.

No sanding is necessary and thanks to the miter saw all the cuts are straight. I'm also impressed at how the blade affords very precise cuts. Almost every cut was dead on the measurement.
