I heard a friend say that he used a circular saw with a metal cutting blade to cut his frame. Any truth to this?

This tool doesn't stand up to constant use in a shop. I have one of these in my spare pieces/broken tool drawer. The blades chip, and the pins come out, and the warranty covers the pins breaking, the handle breaking, but not the blades or the pins comming out. This tool is good for the home mechanic, but not a line mechanic.

Sears sells a new saw that looks like a circular saw. You guys got it in the States first, but you can get it up here in Canada now. It actually has 2 carbide blades that spin in opposite directions, so you don't get any kickback. The ads say it'll cut up to 1/4" steel. I don't know anyone who's tried one. I think it sells up here for around $200, so I'm sure it would be a lot less down there. Be interesting to try one.

Well I like the new saws all type {i use new because I dont have one}
with the twist & bend head a feller can do a lot of carving with one of them!

As far as the Milwaukee metal circular saw might be good for body work or building metal structures.

& the twin cutter I cant even find on their web site but its in the latest sales flier. with a 6 1/8 blade it would be hard to cut through frames IMO
I got more results from E Bay.
