About Simple Little Life:
This channel has sort of turned (inadvertently) into a knife making channel. But the original idea behind what we wanted it to be is this description below:
Videos on our journey to homesteading. With a recent purchase of a little piece of the Alberta prairie, we're looking to sell our nice suburban home in search of a more meaningful life beyond chasing the "American dream" working for some big company and making someone else rich. It's not about the money, it's about getting the most value from the work I do to improving the life of my family.
Some preparedness, DIY, building quality things with your hands, guns, gear, and outdoor exploration.

It's well worth the money, I cut 45 degrees of square stainless steel bars to make furniture, it's PERFECT 45 degrees, saves a lot of time, the cut is ready to weld. I can literally make a complex cut of complete inox chair structure in 10 min, in the regular abrasive saw takes almost a hole hour to get cut and grinded out to make the angles right. And the weld finishing is better so saves time in that fase also. This is the second machine that every TIG welder must buy. With some practice and a good electronic angle meter you can cut perfect angles that is no way possible with a abrasive saw.

I also use an LC 1230, brilliant on accuracy and 2000th cut is the same as the first one, unlike abrasive saws that distort metal during cutting and leave you with inaccurate mitres. If your blade cloggs up with aluminium, a few drops of 'Tapmatic #2' for non-ferrous metals does the trick!

I love my Milwalkee 14" dry cut saw! I know that the cut is cool, but the chips coming off are hot. I might not hook up the shop vac, as the chips could be hot enough to burn what's in the shop vac. Also always advance the blade into the work, just sitting there in the cut does create heat that the chips are not carrying the heat away. This could break down the carbide blade faster. One of my favorite things is cutting threaded rod the thread is nice and clean and I can thread the nut on without having to file the edge first. I know you're gonna love this tool!

I'm normally not a fan of the stamped bases, but after about 25 years of using and abusing my Makita abrasive chop saw, I tore it down, cleaned off the rust, primed and painted the stamped steel base, and it is as straight and clean as new. Having used that type clamp screw release, I'm not real fond of it. Other saws have a release that you just push straight in, which is faster. For cutting aluminum, I just use my wood-cutting saw with a carbide miter blade (also works fantastic for copper pipe, which is what I used when I replaced all the plumbing in my house in California).

8.40sec mark, if the angle piece fits against the back wall you should cut it on its edge, it will save your blade an cut quicker because your only cutting through single wall thickness the whole time

Very nice saw, we have the same one at work. A much older makita, and that thing is cutting something all the time, probably 5-6 hrs run time a day for the past 5-6 years. It cuts eve thing from hardened tools steels aluminum and phenolic. I wouldn't worry too much about cutting aluminum with it. The saw was made for that and steels. I'll check out what blade we run at work, they seem to last a unusually long time. Congrats on the new addition!

Great review! Thanks for posting. I like the fact that the Makita has a cast aluminum base instead of the stamped steel base from the competitors. 12" blade will cost less than 14". I believe that cold cut saws are the way to go, though initial investment is high. Time is money. I believe you can buy a replacement blade to cut aluminum? Non ferrous metal blade?

With cutting aluminum you want to use standard wood circular/radial arm saw speeds with a carbide tipped wood blade. They cut through aluminum stock like butter. Same with bandsaw's you want your blade speed to be close to what you would use for wood.

Thanks for the video, I ended up buying the Makita in good part because of your great review. Out here in Saskatchewan no one sells replacement blades, in your review you mentioned easy access to replacement blades - where are you getting your blades? FYI - anyone buying one of these saws should read the manual prior to cutting. I pretty much destroyed the OEM blade cutting 3X3X3/16 square tubing for a new welding bench project...

A 14" blade costs more but with more teeth stays cooler and lasts longer, so the choice is yours to make. There otta be a wet saw that keeps the blade even cooler, but the complexity of containing the cutting liquid may not be worth it.

I watched several reviews on the Evolution saw before purchasing one and it works great. One thing I don't recall anyone else mentioning is that the Evolution blade remains almost the same diameter for it's whole useful life, but an abrasive blade gets smaller in diameter with each use. This can be important when cutting larger stock, or cutting at an angle. With my abrasive saw i sometimes found myself swapping in a new blade to complete certain cuts.

Thanks

You should not use the 60 tooth blade on stainless steel. It will not last long. Go for the 78 tooth blade, that blade is also better for thinner mild steel. Cutting aluminum is not ideal, it will jam up some teeth and break them off. If you lucky you can get away with it but stay careful and make sure you check the teeth after each cut, also use some tapping fluid for aluminum, this will prevent clogging the teeth. Don't want to damage a 100 US$ blade to soon.

Ha YOU FOOLED ME at 1:28 IT'S a Makita not a Milwaukee, one fact not commonly understood is with steel stock imported from China you could have a hard zone somewhere throught its thickness, and when cutting, if you are unlucky,it will lead to premature wear of the blade .This is when abraisive chop saws have a very distinct advantage and are ideal for cutting harder stock.Of course the same thing can happen if you randomly cut steel stock of unknown origin e.g. from a scrap yard,nice review though,and a happy new year.

Any one have any problems like this, any comments would be appreciated.

I got this saw. Looks very well made but I am experiencing vibration while cutting. The saw is mounted very well to a heavy duty work stand so not sure where the vibration is coming from and I do not get clean cuts like in your video. The cuts are straight but it leaves sharp edges. I am thinking the Makita saw blade that came with it could be the problem. I will try a Diablo Steel Demon 12 in. x 60-Tooth Cermet II Metals and Stainless Steel Circular Saw Blade and see how it goes.

Yes! I love it! Probably sharpened at least 50 knives with it now and I'm a huge fan. I'm actually going to make a tool rest and a knife clamp for it so I can sharpen the exact same angle on both sides every time. That'll be coming up on a future video. But even free-hand, love it. By far the fastest way I've found to get a really sharp, really clean edge on a knife. If you do buy one though, one tip: don't use too much wax on the gritted wheel. I made that mistake and now I have to re-condition the wheel. No biggie but when they say use the wax sparingly, they mean it. Cheers!

Number one reason is space. My little shop is a shipping container and it's full of tool so space is a premium. But also this is significantly faster than a bandsaw. I used to work in a shop with 3 nice fully automated Hyd-Mech band saws and those are great for large projects and even making several thousand of one piece. But for time when you're fabricating project by project, I think this is a much quicker option. Also the finish is better than I've ever seen come of a bandsaw. In a perfect world, I'd have this AND a bandsaw:) Cheers!

I love my Makita cold saw.. cuts like butter and i cut myself from a 45 degree angle bar because the edge came out like a knife. I am worried about my blade as after about 100 cuts it exhibits some wear on the blade. I was careful with it and i used a bees wax lube every 10 cuts. There not much literature in the manual about speed or force when cutting. I used common sense and kept pressure consistent and speed was not aggressive ( Aircraft Mechanic background).

Fence moves. The flaws in these cheep saws are always the same. Light castings for the base and fence. It's going to move. Look how high the threaded rods positioned on the clamp. It naturally wants to push over the fence and pull the base up. So what happens is too much downward pressure combine with a bad blade + an offset handle equals angry man.

@Simplelittlelife
@Simplelittlelife 8 жыл бұрын
yeah I saw that. I've been cutting a lot of aluminum and I've started using A-9 cutting fluid with it. Before I was using the A-9 I was seeing quite a bit of build up in the teeth and the finish wasn't all that great. I think the reason is because of the blade that it comes with. The rake angle of the teeth is not designed for soft material like aluminum. But since using a small dab of cutting fluid for each cut, the aluminum doesn't build up in the teeth at all and I get a really nice surface finish. It actually works really well now with the A-9. Cheers!

A-9 is pretty costly, you can also use some WD-40, kerosene and paraffin/wax to get good results, just that kerosene stinks a little more than wax... My Porter Gable cold cut is also doing great... Most of my Makita tools are still alive compared to De-Walt or the rest... ;)

14.04.19 - 1.24 Not Milwaukee this one a Makita. How about clamping down 2 inch pipe and tube does it hold tight and not turn removing the tips of the teeth when the pipe turns.

I was actually using it yesterday (it will appear in an upcoming video) and I was thinking how great of a tool it’s been. Maybe I should do a follow up video. I use it fairly regularly and have a few dozen hours on it of cutting time. Zero complaints. Cheers👍

Probably, but lower RPM isn't as good for wood, and the blade is not going to be optimal either.

Don't mean to split hairs here but this is a dry-cut not a cold cut. There can be sparks. Traditionally, A cold cut has fluid jets, a heavy cabinet base and runs from 3000 to 10000 dollars. Just sayin'

I dont know if the misnomer is because the metal is "Cold" after the cut as opposed to a chop saw "Hot" but i understand your point.

Só não consigo entender o por que uma policorte que contem o mesmo material dos outros modelos de maior rotação, 3.800 rpm (que costuma custar menos de R$1.000,00) cuja diferença é apenas o disco diferenciado e a rotação menor, pode custar até quatro vezes mais, só por ser de baixa rotação (em torno de 1300 rpm) em relação aos outros modelos que utilizam discos abrasivos .... NADA JUSTIFICA ESTA DIFERENÇA !!! (a não ser o preço do disco que fica em torno de R$1.000) AGORA O POR QUE DO PREÇO TÃO ABUSIVO ???

that is not a true cold cut saw, they have running coolant and usually 3 phase motors.
@Simplelittlelife
@Simplelittlelife 3 жыл бұрын
I do know exactly what you’re talking about and used to use one at a fab shop I worked at. This is a fairly common term for these types of saw though. Run slower and the material doesn’t heat up nearly as much as an abrasive chop saw. I think that’s why these are often referred to as a cold cutting chop saw.
@prodigalson2670
@prodigalson2670 3 жыл бұрын
@@Simplelittlelife yes that is right, they leave almost perfect cut surface, but they are extremly heavy, require 3 phase power, and you need different blade for any material that you cut so you don't ruin them because they are very expensive. They are used in the production enviroment and most people like you and I are better soothed by Chop saw like yours.
