Lee,

Thanks for this info. I am sure you did all this research just for me! ;)

Only real problem with the chop saws is that most are designed for wood and the blade is to fast for most metals.
The evolution rage 2 chop saw runs a lot slower and supposedly cuts steel.
I though of getting one but just dont need to cut that much steel so I will stick with my Elu for ally and wood.

Just had a thought(painful) a 3 pahse chop saw could run slower with and inverter, more money though!

As a side note, the 60T Blade i used was from ebay @ £24.99 inc p&p, yes thats right inc p&p

Old thread I know...but..you got robbed Lee, £9.85 for a 80TCT aluminium cutter blade in Toolstation.

Your profile is thin so it doesn't take much to slice through that. :whistling:

Been cutting 20mmx70mm bar with mine....like a knife through butter.:dance:

You could also try http://www.automation-supplies.com/ for your extrusion. Thats who I used for mine. Ordered specific lengths so I would'nt need to recut them. Good quality cuts and all parts well packaged.
