After years of use… I’m 100% in the camp of using a Makita metal cutting 6” circular saw! Fast and straight cuts everytime whether it’s 50x50 or 100x100 or ladder racking! 👍🏻

[@smacznykonsek]

Same here. Althought I use Mileaukee metal skillsaw. Straightest, quickest and neatest for tray, trunking, ladderrack, basket and even tube and paxilin

A vice!!! Your lucky if there's a beer crate to work on when your on site.

[@ja_adam_]

I have a dream… that every site will have a vice 😅

Was going to say!!! knee on it sawing half out a door....... seen it all!!

Nice tutorial guys showing marking up and cutting with a hacksaw. A top tip for the finished edge. Spray the galv spray on the cardboard and make a tiny pool and then dip the cut end into it. Try it. The finished article is cleaner and there is no unsightly overspray showing.

Fantastic video Jake and Joe 👍🏻

Very useful tool this. Great for cutting uni-strut, threaded rod etc. Negates the need for a hot works permit too.

[@stevenredmond7455]

134mm circular saw with metal cold cutting blade is the best.

[@esparks5893]

@@stevenredmond7455 yes, agreed once cutting on the ground but if you have to modify steel work once installed a circular saw not much use in that application. This tool will do both in most instances and very well.

[@electricsandotherstuff5258]

For really accurate cuts, the making should be scribed and the cut made on the waste side of the line.

One of the things we had to do at engineering college was cut, using a hacksaw, a block of metal that was 10mm X 100mm at a certain length and in a straight a line as possible It was the last process after we'd done a load of machining to it over the previous day so it was a skill we couldn't afford to mess up

[@michaelpavel5728]

Great content 😎I prefer using the angle grinder

[@leem270]

who has a block of wood the perfect size and a vice on site when doing trunking haha. Great video though ;)

[@95555219]

Any idea to make a long radius cable tray Tee?

[@y3v1k]

Big fat marker, hands and angle grinder 😁

[@skyemac8]

A metal chop saw is golden for this.

[@malikjamal9857]

Very nice bro

[@efixx]

Thanks

[@PJPsounds]

Most of construction sites have no vice and nobody is carrying piece of wood with them.

[@johnsheppard7388]

The looks like a 14 TPI blade, wouldn't you get a much better cutter if you used a finer blade, maybe even 24 TPI ?

[@omega1maestro]

Are you deaf or stupid?

[@stevenredmond7455]

Vice my arse, 😂😂 tell me what site has a vice to use. Jig saw for 4” or more, chop saw for 2”.

[@johnaphone]

Do a lot of plantrooms, and the pipe fitters chain vice is usually in their. Very useful for trunking, conduit and rod

[@aleksandrp5]

Если хочешь убить время делай так, а если хочешь заняться делом возьми болгарку...

[@dauunsuc]

Common guys. Jigsaw all the way.

[@efixx]

Totally agree but in a college setting the hacksaw still rules 👍🏻

[@Jay369]

Grinder?

[@dauunsuc]

@@Jay369 A bit risky cause in some sites is not allowed, otherwise I will go for a grinder too.
