fl327 Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 i bought a cheapo 30.00 one from the local hardware store, complete POS, wont stay clamped on anything-wont cut anything. getting ready to do this intercooler piping, god what pain in the @ss! but i cant wait. im ready to spend a bit more for one that works, the only other quote i got was for 90.00, it should work better its from a tool company i get stuff from, but im wondering if there was one inbetween that you guys might have had sucess with? thanx yall.

Sparky Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 why not get a chop saw? i picked one up at a panw shop for less than 100$ and it cuts metal like nuthin! i used it to cut my intercooler pipe...my frame rails...and my turbo plumbing couplings. its nice to have...and you can always use it again and again whenever you need to cut stuff.

threeZguy Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 I just used a SAWZALL. You can probably rent one for a few bucks if ya didn't want to buy one. But they are really versatile for cutting alot of things. .......chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted February 9, 2003 Author Share Posted February 9, 2003 dont have the room at my slot to fit a chopsaw, and dangit i love em, that and a belt grinder and i could run shop something fierce. i have a sawzall, plan to use it to cut bigger sections of pipe, but need something to hack the angles smoother, last cutter i bought was a complete POS....

Cody 82 ZXT Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 Len, I've had good luck with buying a long blade for the Saw's All. If you have Harbor Frieght near you they have the small Chop Saw for 50.00 bucks right now. It will cut angles and all that. I also use a small belt sander that I bought for 30 bucks to clean up the edges and make any adjustment that I messed up on during cutting.

Pop N Wood Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=5983 Only $17 but a super heavy duty unit. Weights about 10 pounds. This one won't cut anything under about and inch and a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
