wanted metal chop saw

[arlene]

Hi I'm looking for a use metal chop saw to do the modifcations needed on the red trailer.

Hi;
I have both a metal cutting chopsaw and a 4.5" angle grinder. For the mods on the Harbor Freight trailer you could do it all with the 4.5" grinder (plus possibly a small amount of manual hacksaw cutting) and save a lot of money over buying a chopsaw.
It's ust a thought...a 4.5" angle grinder is one of the handiest tools I have. I use it all the time for cutting & trimming metal, plastic, almuninum, fiberglass...super handy.
You can pick one up for less than $30...and grinding wheels are usually 10 for $5.

A metal cutting blade in a circular saw works too. (I wouldn't use my new Porter cable with one, but my old black and decker has one in it all the time)

A metal chop saw is commonly available at HF for $49 when it's on sale. It's not a great tool, but it works fine.

Have you looked into a portable bandsaw? HF has one that I've heard is OK. It works better if you get a better blade for it.

Never know what might turn up at a pawn shop either...Doug

Yeah, but they didn't have pawn shops in Peabody last time I was there(do they?).
