Portable Saws
These saws were primarily designed for sheet metal roofers in the building industry. Cold saws, as opposed to abrasive saws, are used so that protective coating is not damaged. They also have a heavy duty aluminium catcher which is useful for capturing the swarf.
They can cut up to 6 mm (0.24 in) thick mild steel. They use cermet tipped blades.
