- Is the DEWALT D28730 good for cutting rebar and pipe?
- Yes. The 14-inch abrasive wheel and strong motor handle rebar, pipe, angle iron and studs. Expect burrs that need grinding after the cut.
- Does it cut wood?
- No. It is an abrasive metal-cutting chop saw. Use a dedicated wood saw for lumber and trim.
- How loud is it?
- Very loud. Abrasive saws run at high rpm and produce a sharp whine. Wear ear protection and eye protection.
- What size wheel does it take?
- It uses 14-inch (355 mm) abrasive wheels with a 1-inch arbor. Standard wheels are widely available.
- Does it need a special power supply?
- It draws high current on a corded circuit. Check that the outlet and breaker can handle the motor's draw, and use a heavy-gauge extension cord.
- Is it better than a dry-cut saw?
- A dry-cut saw gives cleaner, cooler cuts with less mess but costs more and cuts slower in some stock. The D28730 is simpler and faster on rough work.
