It seems that my shop has moved enough into metal work to warrant the purchase of a new metal saw. I have a cheap abrasive disk saw and it's driving me nuts. It's loud, inaccurate and the blade flexes into an angle when I'm cutting.
I was wondering if I could gather advice on what to replace it with. A smaller metal saw would be good, preferably under $800. It would need to do acurate miters, but I'm never going to cut more than pipe and 2" square stock on it, so it wouldn't have to be huge.
Are all abrasive saws as inaccurate as my old one, or are there good abrasive saws that can give me good miters?
I was hoping that there existed a porta-band that I could mount into a miter table, but that doesn't seem to exist. All the mountable porta-bands I could find didn't do miters.
Anyone have a saw they really like?
