Cut-off equipment (I believe - I have not done much research) can either involve a saw or a grinding wheel as the cutting element.
If I was cutting steel and aluminum bars, what in general should I buy? A saw blade type or a grinding wheel type?
I'd be wanting to get a pretty smooth finish at the cut.
And incidentally, is their much noise difference between saw and grinder?
Are powered reciprocating saws still in fashion? Or are they old-hat now and probably quite expensive?
Do we call these cut-off machines mitres now?
Thanks. Rich
P.S. Oh, I think if you can achieve a slanting cut, the equipment might then be called a mitre.
