- Can this saw cut wood?
- No. It is an abrasive cut-off saw meant for metal such as rebar, pipe and angle iron. Abrasive wheels are not safe for wood; use a miter saw with a carbide blade for lumber.
- What size wheel does it take?
- It uses standard 14-inch abrasive cut-off wheels with a 1-inch arbor, the common size sold for chop saws. That makes replacements easy to find at hardware stores.
- Does the bevel adjustment let it cut angles?
- Yes. The base bevels so you can make angled cuts on metal, which many basic cut-off saws cannot do. Check the angle scale and test on scrap before critical cuts.
- Is it the same as a miter saw?
- No. A miter saw spins a toothed blade for wood; this saw spins an abrasive wheel at high speed for metal. It cuts slower and leaves rougher edges but handles steel a wood saw cannot.
- What should I wear when using it?
- Safety glasses or a face shield, hearing protection and gloves. The saw throws sparks and grit, so keep flammable material clear and clamp the work securely.
