The Pros and Cons of Circular Cold Saws

Circular Cold Saw Pros:
All grades of steel as well as stainless and high carbon materials lend themselves to cold saws. They are often used for cutting thin wall tubing where the quality of the cut is critical. They quickly enter and exit steel without creating excess heat. As a result, these saws deliver clean and straight cuts that don’t need secondary finishing operations. Due to these qualities, circular cold saws are ideal for a variety of materials and profiles.
Circular Cold Saw Cons:
Circular cold saws have a clear disadvantage when it comes to large material. Generally, they can only deal with diameters under six inches. Though you can use cold saws for layer- and bundle-cuts, they only handle small material.
