As far as I understand a wood saw should be fine as long as you don't rush the cut and stall out. I've seen a few videos showing both types with the same blade. Also the blade should be rated for the RPM of your machine since wood saws typically spin faster than metal saws. You don't want a sawblade to rip apart in your face. Safety first :)
I just ordered an Evolution saw. Your Jack of all trades comment...I'd never heard the "better than one". Spot on. I'm 66 years old and have had a life of learning and it has been very rewarding for me. I was a software engineer working in startups, loved it. But I retired a 45 just so I could do more things. Got into gardening, playing basketball and slow flipping houses. I buy fixers and fix them up and sell them about every 7 years. Working on #4 now in central Phoenix. I'll setup my woodshop in the living room, metal shop in a bedroom, other rooms storing materials. I just make stuff. Light switches from old typewriter keys, hidden door bookcase that can handle huge weight (real books), on and on. If I screw up a project, no problem, I scape it and try again. Almost all my materials I get from CraigsList and curbside bulk trash pickup that we have here in Phoenix every 3 months. That's part of the fun. The internet has been a great help in learning how to do anything I want to do. I always try to have the best tools and to code. First learn the traditional "right way". If I want to create a new way that's OK, but only after I've learned the right way. I see many people with no experience think they know better and pick the worse, most expensive and hardest method possible, But it does take some experience to learn who to learn from. It's been such a happy life. Giving you a recommendation for the path you've chosen. There comes a point when all these little things you've learned all start to gel together and you feel like you're really starting to understand the world. Nice feeling. It's also kept me very healthy. I value that alone very highly. I always try to work safe...seriously. I don't have to hurry, so I don't. I try to look at each step at how could that hurt me. Even still, I've had some close calls. When doing so many things the odds are I will make a mistake so taking safety seriously is just to get better odds. Now I'm getting ready to move to SE Asia. A new world of learning. New materials, sourcing, language, people. There I can build a house pretty much any way I want (not at all complaining about the inspection and code system we have in the US...I think it's great and has been key in teaching me "the right way"). You've picked an excellent path imo.
That narration after the cut 😂🤣😂🤣😂 I love it!!! Cause I know the feeling... thanks for the video definitely helps me make a decision on how to proceed on my project 👍
Good job with the cutting of the steel and also the talking which you are also good at. Damn, you really know how to run your mouth. You are the ultimate cursing king. Like butter! Thanks for the video.
WHOLLY FK! I spent about an hour cutting something almost identical in length with a 7" abrasive disk on a makita. The patience, the posture, the sweat and the weight to cut that thing straight was a bitch! I"m going to give these blades a try next time, thanks man! Buddy, plasma cutting, 100$....the consumable is what, 10 dollars for a pack, that fool should have charged you 20$ if that.
Best thing would of been to get it sheared at a local welding shop,but circular saw works,blades are expensive and dont last long,they are meant to cut 1/8 steel,but it does the job,we have a milwaukee m18 circular saw at work,works great,but not ideal
Not entirely sure as I just asked my supplier for any 1/2" plate they had kicking around. Judging by the way it behaves though, I'd say it's just regular mild steel
These things are pretty damn sweet for straight cuts on steel plate especially out in thd field, and in thr shop but dont ever be like those people who never learned how to use a torch and are limited in what they can do and how fast they can do it all because they dont care for learning a torch
True words! I know how to use the ole oxy acetylene but don't have access to one unfortunately (or the cash to buy a setup.... or the place to store it 😂) The nice thing about the torch is it's not single purpose... need to cut something, no problem... stubborn bolt/nut? can't be if it's liquid... brazing, bending I could go on for days.... I really need to get a torch setup
@@thenuttynortherner go to a steep scrap yard and ask if they sell steel and if they do just look around for oxygen and acetylene bottles that aren't damaged and pay scrap prices and get as many as you can afford and then for around $15.50 here in az you can get them hydro tested and recertified but they just switch you bottle then and there and you pay gas contents and boom you have all the bottles you want, sell what you don't need at a profit and buy more or buy more equipment, I learned that system leaving the house hungry, broke except 30$ 1/8tank of gas and needing money to give to my kids mother and came home with 2 burgers, 300$ in my pocket and a full tank
@@jackmioff000 Hi Carlos, do you mind sharing where in AZ can I get the tanks tested/certified? Also, can I get just regular propane tanks recertified? Any idea how prices are now in 2022 (almost 2023)? Thank you in advance!
@@astuff4sale any welding supply store should be able to, vern Lewis is a bottle snob in my experience but if it's in alright condition they'll exchange it, allied welding supply is my go to especially the one on 59th and glendale Ave. Whatever you do, stay away from Phoenix welding supply. When I went to exchange my first bottle set (portatorch) the girl working there gave me a non exchangeable Chinese bottle because It was my first time exchanging bottles and they knew it and when I went back they denied it ever with the receipt and never gave my bottle back and it was at a time when I was dead broke and that portatorch set was all I had. Phoenix welding supply will screw you over.
@@astuff4sale also allied does recertification for $15.50 plus contents and grab any bottle that doesn't have dents or heavy rust and have the brass valve on top that way you aren't stuck with a piece of scrap. All in all for a 40cf acetylene bottle I once paid 7$ at a scrap yard, got it hydrotested, which is recertification and paid gas contents so so like 40$ 45$ and did that with 4 bottles and sold 2 and those paid for the other 2 which I asked if I could trade them in for a big one and they agreed and I got a free 80cf bottle of acetylene that day with gas money too lol. You can exchange oxygen, argon, 75/25 bottles straight across and pay for contents so you don't have to buy a bottle or find one. let's say had your 150cf oxygen bottle and you wanted to try tig welding or mig, you can trade it for a 150cf argon or 150cf 75/25 bottle, acetylene gets you a smaller bottle trade in but those are more common
Thank you for your feedback. I'm not here to "sound a lot smarter" just to provide some useful information on a average joe-blow level. Thank you for watching!
You're one of the only ones who showed a regular wood saw being used and for 1/2 at that.
Thanks a lot, really needed to know this.
Same here

How did you retire so early?
Not gonna lie, really didn't think that was going to work... I'm pleasantly surprised, thanks for sharing 👍
That narration after the cut 😂🤣😂🤣😂 I love it!!! Cause I know the feeling... thanks for the video definitely helps me make a decision on how to proceed on my project 👍
I have the same size steel. Would i need to quench it still to make it stronger for machete?
That "buddy" charging you to make 3 cuts with a plasma is no "buddy".
I’ve been founding out the way of cutting thick metal sheet like this, Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for the video! I need to make two cuts like that, had no idea it could be done with a circular saw.
Good job with the cutting of the steel and also the talking which you are also good at. Damn, you really know how to run your mouth. You are the ultimate cursing king. Like butter! Thanks for the video.
I bought that same blade to cut 1/8 steel sheet and after 24 inch the blade went bust!! I don’t get it.
Thanks for the video. Nice
I may be late to this video but how much this saw cutter cost(name please) and how many days this blade goes if using on commercial level?
WHOLLY FK! I spent about an hour cutting something almost identical in length with a 7" abrasive disk on a makita.

Thank you brother! Awesome work
Is that a wood skillsaw with a metal blade?
Is that a regular circular saw or one with lower rpm for metal cutting?
Just a regular one. This blade is rated for 5800RPM, the saw I'm using is 5500RPM.
I wasn't sure it was going to cut but ho-lay! Lawrd tunderin'! Sure did give 'er! .... so says yer subscriber #4!! woo hooooo! (Lise)
How many blades did you do through? Just one? Thanks.
Awesome video, thanks! Ill be trying this soon
So amazed !! great stuff (bet we can't get in Oz ..
Can a cut be made in tougher rated steel?
How do you get through 5cm thick metal
Well done… you are a hero…
Best thing would of been to get it sheared at a local welding shop,but circular saw works,blades are expensive and dont last long,they are meant to cut 1/8 steel,but it does the job,we have a milwaukee m18 circular saw at work,works great,but not ideal
I'm impressed
Nice demo, Do you think it could cut 3/4"? How many amps on your circular saw?
the blade is only rated up to 1/2" but I think if you took it easy on the feed rate you could cut 3/4. My saw is a 14A Crappy Tire model.
@The Nutty Northerner what rating of steel is this? Is there a harder steel for safes, that won't cut?
Popped er cherry, it's all down hill from here lmfao
need to ask an experienced metal cutter, how many cuts can you get outta that blade?
@@TheHalusis I would love to know too
Great job 👏
Cool. What’s the steel rating?
Not entirely sure as I just asked my supplier for any 1/2" plate they had kicking around. Judging by the way it behaves though, I'd say it's just regular mild steel
@@thenuttynortherner is there a stronger steel for safes construction?
Where's the "no way" guy on this one?
Good stuff
wow that's better than oxy cutting?
So, thanks for the video: in
Just use Ice, it worked on the Titanic. LOL
hell ya there Budd
$100 for 3 cuts? I need to buy a plasma cutter.
I'd cut it with a grinder and cutoff wheels for that 🤣
Why does this feel like a Bollywood version of an AvE video?
I may have borrowed some inspiration. AvE is like the father I always wanted.
Make a new video please🙏🙏🙏
I have the same gloves

Try cutting a curve. Just saying
Are you that ignorant to make a comment like that? He's demonstrating a straight cut!
Video would be a lot better, and you would sound a lot smarter.... If you didn't drop f-bombs needlessly over and over.

Fack ‘‘em do you we learned on your dollar
Thank you for that. Teacher gets to write the curriculum we’re here to learn
@The Nutty Northerner personally I appreciate the language.
being from Jersey, i feel like im listening to a buddy, i dont mind the sailors tongue.
