*gulp*
Tell me please that you didn't use a wood cutting blade in your chopsaw to cut the metal? If you did, and survived, then please stop and go buy
a metal cutting blade to fit your saw. Metal chop saw blades and very cheap.
This is advice that could save your life, or at least an eye when one of the wood blade teeth breaks off and makes a beeline for your mincies, or,
even worse, the pills.

sven - already had it spit a blade at me, hehe, so swapped it for an angle grinder disk - only use it for reducing full lengths and not precise cuts

Dang ... they make all blade and arbor sizes of metal cut off blades to suit all kinds of chopsaws. As a fellow Yorkshireman I plead with you to stop
using the wood blade. Some day you may spawn a decent cricketer and, god knows, Yorkshire needs them. I'd never forgive myself if I deprived
the county of said superstar by not giving you the 411.

arrrr lad -,be reet, t'only spat blade once, metal ones are a bit't dear for my liking - 60 queens heads for a metal blade, or 10 queens

I have been running 10 x 3/32 inch abrasive blades in my compound miter saw andits quite acurate although I have bee through proablably 4 blades in
the last year it seams perfectly safe.

Don't see much of him on here these days either.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
