Yes, a 60w laser can cut metal. It is important to note, however, that the thickness of the metal will determine how well the laser can cut through it. For example, a 60w laser can easily cut through thin metal, but may have more difficulty cutting through thicker metal.
A power saw can cut metal if the proper blade is used. Metal-cutting blades have teeth that are much harder than the metal they are cutting and can withstand the high temperatures that are generated.
Yes, a Dewalt chop saw can cut metal. You will need to use a metal cutting blade, which is different than the blade you would use to cut wood. Metal cutting blades have teeth that are specifically designed to cut through metal.
You can use a chop saw to cut metal, but it's not the ideal tool for the job. A chop saw is designed to cut through wood, and while it can cut through metal, it will not give you a clean, precise cut. For that, you'll need a metal-cutting saw.

I believed I had seen it all after years of cutting steel with a plasma cutter, sawzall, torch, jig saw, and grinder. Then, while I was on a job site, I observed one of them in use on a roofing deck. Wow, it cut quickly, precisely, and without sparks! I just had to get one. I used my saw on a piece of 11 ga. sheet steel when I first got it, and it cut right through it! Later, I wanted a beautiful straight edge to create link mounts for a Jeep project, so I pulled out the saw and - zip! - right through 5/16 plate! I have around 20 feet of cutting steel that ranges in thickness from 5/16 to 20ga, and the blade is still just as sharp as it was at first.

If you work as a flooring contractor, an undercut saw is a necessity, and Crain makes a terrific one. The 825s I've been using for years have only ever required new motor brushes or power cords, and I anticipate this one won't be much different. It takes only a few seconds to switch the collet to utilize a domed wood blade or a diamond blade.

I have a plasma cutter for bigger items, but I wanted a tiny saw to cut 90s and 45s for my smaller steel stock (2 inches and below). First of all, the pricing is unbeatable at around $120, and even with the general-purpose blade, the 1x1x16GA square tube (at 45 degrees) was cut like butter by the tool. I also performed 1x1x11GA carefully and slowly, with few sparks. I also purchased the 48-tooth stainless steel blade, and I found that it cut slightly more cleanly. Due to factors like the amount of teeth, etc., I anticipate that the official steel blade will outlast the general purpose blade. In any scenario, I could probably grab that cut steel and start welding straight away without any prior sanding. Small home businesses like mine will benefit greatly from the weight and size. There were a few small problems with the saw, I detest the dumb locking chain, they only gave me one earplug (very tiny but wtf), and it was difficult to install the rubber foot for the clamp. Why did I have to do that?My only actual problems are:#1 The 20MM (METRIC) ARBOR on this saw. I've read some of the comments, and they give you the impression that you can use this saw's 5/8" blades without a bushing, which is FALSE! The "Evolution CSBUSH20M5/8 bushing" is what you require. It's inexpensive and available on Amazon. Home Depot or Lowes do not keep 7 14 inch 20MM arbor blades in stock; you must order them. The bushing may therefore be useful in an emergency. This isn't a big deal in my opinion, but it is something that I wish was mentioned.#2 I discovered that the clamp mechanism changes the angle you choose to make 45s and other angles. It's not just one saw; I've seen several more expensive saws with the similar design. I'm now using clamps for my work.#3 The 45 hash marks are a couple of degrees off. My own new hash marks cost about $120 to make.So far, I'm extremely pleased with the saw.PICTURE INFORMATION: I decided not to upload the cut steel pictures because they are 1x1x16GA from the official steel blade and cut quite similarly to the general purpose blade.You can notice the fitting issue on the stem since I attached a blue 5/8s arbor blade to it. I can't comment on how well that works because I haven't yet ordered the bushing.By the way, it does come with eye protection and extra motor brushes as well as a little dust port that you can install.

This is what I learned. In comparison to an abrasive saw, the saw cuts amazingly well and quickly. The silver cast aluminum saw mount up's saw is excellent! I was concerned that it would bog down while cutting 3x3-18 thick tube steel because it cuts at a lower rpm than most other saws, but it never did. Despite appearing to have some wobble, the blade is steady and makes square slices.However, the Yellow blade guard and spark deflector are not effectively built. I had to take out the spark deflector while cutting the 3x3 tube steel at a 45 degree angle "of the blade guard, allowing me to finish the cuts. A 14 "Without removing safety measures or severing the blade guard, a saw must be able to cut the size of material it was designed to handle.However, there is still tremendous space for improvement. Although it has a rapid release to adjust the angles of cut, it still requires a square or a 45 to set it properly, therefore it is not a reliable tab. Each time you clamp steel into the cutting vise, the fence will move if it is properly adjusted. Even though it's not as severe as it was at 45, you still can't rely on it to hold true at 90. We alter this by drilling additional holes through which pins are inserted so that they are perfectly 90° or 45° and maintain their accuracy under pressure from the vice. Dewalt could have fixed all of these problems with some basic indexing that would keep the vice true and eliminate the requirement to adjust the fence with a square or a 45.The saw includes a clamp to secure your cutting material to the cutting table, however bad engineering went into this component as well. There are three areas where the clamp can be placed for the various fence positions. The clamp will not fit where it is needed, and there are no slots for it when you set the fence to its middle locations, thus you cannot use it to cut 1x1 stock. All that is required is a simple change to the Dewalt die to punch five instead of simply three rectangle holes.In conclusion, this saw is a fantastic cutter and performs superbly from the middle up. It is a feeble effort from the middle out to create something that isn't truly on the market right now. Even though these errors are disappointing, I would still choose this saw over some of the others I have seen. Its cutting performance and ability get it four stars.

I've used this saw for dozens of projects and hundreds of cuts, and I'm still impressed by the quality of the cuts it makes. Since this was the first dry cut saw I had ever used, there was a little bit of a learning curve, but once I got it and matched the blade to the material, I have been pleased with its performance ever since. Before changing it, I utilized the blade that came with it until I got the feel of using the saw, and I'm glad I did. Replacement blades are pricey, but if you use proper technique, your blades will last for a very long time, making the cost per cut acceptable. And the cut quality is amazing. If necessary, you can use the saw to trim material or create the thinnest shims. Not many other saws could perform the tasks that this one can.I'll offer these four advice for utilizing this saw:1. Put on earplugs. When the saw is cutting steel, it produces a dreadful noise.2 - Align the blade with the object of the cut. Although blades are pricey, using the right one will result in better cuts and a longer blade life.3 - Firmly clamp the material. You will quickly chip and ruin the blade if you allow the material to move or the blade to chatter.4. Avoid allowing extra material to re-enter the blade. I found out the hard way that the saw is capable of throwing that stuff through a garage door.

I'd rate this saw itself with five stars. This was my replacement for an old Makita abrasive cutoff saw. In comparison, it is much quieter and cuts in between two-thirds and half the time. The workpiece also has little to no burrs that need to be cleaned off and stays much cooler. I'm surprised I didn't purchase one of these sooner. I'm eager to use the non-ferrous blade I purchased as well. With an abrasive tool, cutting aluminum is difficult because the disc always becomes clogged with metal.However, 0 points for Amazon's awful shipping. Only the packing for this saw—a cardboard box with a few extra pieces of cardboard inside—is used for shipping. That is all for a large, expensive, and hefty tool. The guard on the initial saw I purchased was so badly twisted that it was impossible to turn the blade, which was biting into the guard. The second saw was virtually as awful as the first, so I returned it for a complete refund. I disassembled the guard, bent it back sufficiently, and put it back together rather than dealing with a second return and refund.You'll love this saw if you purchase it from a nearby welding supply shop. Don't purchase it from Amazon since they will send you a flimsy box filled with damaged components.

This was the best pricing available for all the available varieties at a wide range of costs. Edges produced by two fixed blades and one active center blade are beautiful, smooth, and nearly burr-free. Before using this one, I was unfamiliar with this type. Be careful that this shear leaves a tiny waste strip between the two halves generated in order to provide that wonderful clean cut. You must be aware of the desired line and the side you want to employ on it. This is not a flaw or criticism, but rather a feature of the tool. I conducted some study before making this decision. It goes well with my air chisel set. A chisel cannot provide such a lovely, fine edge. I'm content and endorse this item.

With the assistance of a gift card I had been given, I purchased this on Amazon. The cost was pretty similar to that at Home Depot. I bought my first and only chop saw during a tool sale. About 8 years were involved. Outstanding value for the money. Not really simple to work with.I cut some 1 1/2" square tubing after taking this out of the box. I effortlessly switched between the 45- and 90-degree cuts. Much superior to the ordinary saw I had previously used. Every switch was quick and simple. Normally, I would attempt to cut each angle separately before switching to the next to complete the cuts. I cut each piece as needed because it was so quick and simple to switch between them.I wanted a chop saw that would be strong and last because I am a home hobbyist. I'm really confident in my decision to buy this saw. The rapid change back stop's ability to be easily moved forward and backward on the table is one of its positive attributes. Particularly when your blade gets smaller, this is helpful. I believe I can now make some of those cuts that I couldn't with a smaller blade. The saw's included blade is excellent. High quality cuts that are quick.I damaged the first blade by making a mistake. My metal slipped because I hadn't fastened it, ruining the blade. It has nothing to do with the saw; it's just dumb of me. The blade swap was quick and easy. None are needed. Change the blade by unscrewing the knob. When it is sufficiently tight going on, the knob clicks.In general, I would strongly advise this saw. I had planned to purchase the saw at Home Depot, but a buddy offered me a gift card to Amazon, which I combined with some cash to purchase. Excellent buy, prompt arrival, and free shipping. Compared to Home Depot, it actually cost me less.

I've worked in heavy manufacturing, rapid prototyping, and metalworking as a hobby, and I believe this is one of the greatest inexpensive equipment available. This saw's gear reduction is set up correctly to enable it to cut through steel or aluminum without excessively wearing out its blades. The RPM is accurate. Even though it specifies 1/4" maximum thickness, I have successfully cut 3/8" web on an I-beam and would be able to cut thicker materials as well if necessary. This is because you can go a long way with a blade if you fixture the work piece correctly and have patience when cutting.I think the one I bought is from a previous generation. Since the motor exits through the right side of the blade rather than the top, I find it difficult to believe that they are significantly different. If they maintain the same gear reduction and somewhat similar base construction, however, I would welcome the change because it is essentially what motivated my review. (See under)To begin with, this saw can easily cut through mild or even medium strength steel when using either the Rage "steel" blade or the Oshlun steel blade. I have produced roughly 2000 cuts in mild steel and 400 cuts in 4130 chromoly since I purchased the saw, and I have very few complaints about the cut quality, repeatability, or speed. I've sliced a lot of aluminum with just the Rage "Aluminum" blade, and I still don't see any cause to change it (around 900 cuts).The workpiece has very little heat impacted zone (HAZ), and the majority of the heat enters the chip (as it should), resulting in a consistent cut surface even as the blades begin to wear out. It takes a lot of pressure for me to get the blade to feed when the blades are malfunctioning because I start to get a lot of sparks. The HAZ is impacted by the friction, but this was to be expected. For me, blade wear results in a cliff rather than a steady decline in performance.Many individuals could have concerns about repeatability, but considering the cost, I am not counting on the tool's stats to be a reliable indicator of accuracy. Instead, I utilize digital protractors, squares, and tape measures to ensure that my work is sized and square, and I've always fixed things with welding clamps or C-clamps. If you work with metal in any way, you should have access to those as well. You will be let down if you count on using the clamps and guides that come with the saw.I would say that every piece of steel, aluminum, or stainless steel that I have cut is cut at half the pace that I would cut a similar sized piece of crown molding at. This is still way, much faster than any band saw or abrasive blade.Complaints and the cause for the lowered star rating: After all the cutting I've done, the motor brush caps are already starting to pop out, so I'm depending on a specially made clamp to keep them in place. Laser is for rough cuts; foundation and walls aren't really heavy duty. This is a failure, but the saw has already more than compensated for itself in the time it has saved me during cuts, so there isn't much more I can ask of it. I also believe that heat and vibration both contributed to the breakdown. I didn't actually have the saw itself fixed, and if I had, this might not have happened.For cutting wood, a 1" arbor can be a nuisance. If I were Evolution, I would mull on the possibility of altering this on the saw. Keep it at 1" for cutting metal and 5/8" for cutting wood.Tips that have helped me cut better include fixing the workpiece at all times and never cutting through metal and lifting it up while the blade is spinning. Although each cut cycle takes a little bit longer, I was constantly shattering blades when I cut and lifted.After every cut, remove debris and chips, as these were also contributing to excessive blade wear and occasionally ripping chunks of my aluminum.No cutting oils are required, and I would not advise it. When cutting aluminum bar, it did assist to keep the teeth from getting clogged, but I discovered that taking my time and using steady pressure worked better.Avoid sliding unless absolutely necessary. The feed is challenging to manage, and the saw just wants to bounce.Wear gloves, sleeves, and protective eyewear because the chips hurt and the scatter is nearly as terrible as sawdust. They are a to deal with.Oshlun blades have so far produced 15% more cuts, however I would still get whatever matches the price difference. Both the evolution and the oshlun are good blades for metal cutting tasks, thus I would choose the one that offers the best price.
No, water cannot cut a diamond. A diamond is one of the hardest materials on Earth and is not affected by water.
The amount of PSI needed to cut metal varies depending on the type and thickness of the metal. For example, soft metals like aluminum can be cut with as little as 3,000 PSI, while harder metals like stainless steel may require up to 10,000 PSI.
You'll need at least 1,000 watts to cut through most metals. Higher-wattage models will cut through thicker metal more quickly.
The answer may vary depending on the specific 3000W laser, but in general, a 3000W laser can cut through materials that are up to 1" thick. This is due to the fact that 3000W lasers have enough power to vaporize material quickly, making them ideal for cutting through thicker materials.
Laser cutting is a process that uses a powerful laser to cut through material. The thickness of material that a 4000 watt laser can cut depends on the type of material and the settings used. For example, a 4000 watt laser can cut through up to 25 mm of mild steel with the proper settings.
A saw is a tool that has been used for centuries to cut through wood. In recent years, saws have been designed to cut through metal as well. There are two main types of saws that are used to cut metal: the band saw and the circular saw. The band saw is the most common type of saw used to cut metal. It consists of a blade that is made of a continuous loop of steel. The blade is mounted on two wheels, and the saw is moved back and forth to cut through the metal. The circular saw is another type of
