It didn't cut clean through 40x40mm for me the few times I used it. I guess I didn't let it cut all the way through by itself. The one thing I don't liike about this saw is the switch does not lock itself in but U have to keep ur finger on it constantly.. I found I was pushing down on the handle then so I think a unit with one of those on/off switches like u get on table saws, etc would be a great addition to this saw bcos it's not a bad saw and I also think if u get some better quality blades it will work really well.. I was looking at the bearings for guiding the blade and they look cheap as heck bro. WHAT ARE UR THOUGHTS ABOUT THEM??
Ah thanks, seeing this video, I now know there's something wrong with mine. Just got it today, but it makes a very loud sound when used, like something is broken inside
Why use a saw and not a metal cutting disk? If I use it as a stationary tool, whats better about the saw compared to a disk? This one has the option of being portable but whats else is useful about it?
Cutting disks, of the likes of angle grinders, hand-held of stationary are hot-cutting machines. Very fast but produces lots of heat, lots of spark and because of that the cut is not clean. The edges are a bit melted. You have to sand the cut afterwards to get a clean finish. Stationary band saws cut metal very slowly but without heat. The cut is almost perfect with no extra work. Also, although this parkside machine apparently doesn't support it, a lot of bandsaws have a trigger lock and you can leave them cutting some pieces of metal slowly, go do something else and come back in 5 minutes and find your pieces cut to length. Lastly, then ones that like this parkside can be detached from the base, can be used a bit like jigsaws on metal plates to a certain extent. You can make rounded corners and insets if curves are not too tight.

for precise cutting. also, trying to hold a angle grinder for a long time is very exhausting, not to mention noise, spark, safety and vibration.

@@MiguelCamba I see. Didnt know that. Thanks
@@andy2a2m Thank you :)
simple: super straight cuts that you cannot do with an angle grinder

Thank you bro
Brilliant
Great test
