Hi all,
I'm fabricating some stuff in my garage, and I have a small chop-saw for cutting square stock and angle iron, etc. And the chop saw miters, but not real well, and it's setup in such a way that it's tricky to measure the miter angle, and easy to mess up the angle you just spent ages dialing in.
I do this as a hobby, and I'm not looking to dump tons of money into tools.
So I was thinking of getting a cheap miter saw, and using some kind of steel cutting blade on it. But all the miter saws explicitly state not to cut metal with it.
Does anybody know a way to get consistant 45-degree angle cuts in steel?
Cheers!
