I just bought one yesterday thought maybe it might be helpful around the ranch. Big buck & taxes, cheap IOW.
Don't waste your money on it, the blade only spins 2800 rpms, and you have got to get totally, downright brutal with it to even think about starting the fire that makes these things work like a cutting torch, I managed it for about 1/2" going thru a 1x2 bar standing on edge, but the fire was so poorly air fed the sparks were bouncing off the garage wall 8 feet away, potentially falling into the dust tinderbox behind my 12" chop saw. So reverting to abrasive only cutting, it took me about 20 minutes for one cut. Not at all a tool suitable for the job. Once the fire was started, it should have totally consumed all the iron flowing out of the cut in less that 18" from the back of the cut. I have seen these things work, first time in about 1948. With the 9" blade spinning right at its max rpms, close to 15k, it was dropping thru a 1.5" square mount spud that was no longer needed for an eyeglass lens grinding machine, with about a 1 hp motor spinning it, took 3 or 4 secs to start the fire & just fell thru that 1.25" square stud in the next 10 seconds, making a very clean cut. This is a pure crap tool. Look for one that spins that 14" wheel at least 5.2k rpms, and has enough cage around it to safely let it blow up. This piece of tinfoil might stop one exploding blade. Emphasis on the "might". Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
