Question: Can this saw cut 1inch diameter steel bar stock
Document: I EASE into the cut & stay aware of the feedback the machine's giving.As mentioned, I've made only about 50 cuts so far [all mild steel, 1/8" to 1/4" stock], but the blade's still very sharp.Worth every penny...I love this saw!
I bought this saw with the hopes that it would work well for cutting 5/8&#34; thick solid bar mild steel. It cut WONDERFUL when new but after 30-40 cuts, the blade had become dull and much slower cutting. I also own a Evolution Rage 4 (7 1/4&#34; saw of similar type) and have the same problem with it.
Unfortunately, none of the description either here on Amazon or on Makita's website says what the maximum solid stock capacity is. The saw is super nice but I am returning it since I can not justify a $425+ saw when I can only make 30 or 40 cuts before it becomes dull. I know it is not operator error as I have used this type of saw many times. I did not push it and always ran it up to full rpm before easing it into the cut.
There are a number of choices for metal cutting saws which areappropriate depending on the type of metal to be cut. This sawis useful for crosscuts mainly on tube or small diameter rod. Makita isspecific about how this saw is used to avoid blade damage: it's easy toabuse the blade, but used properly it produces very nice, accurate cuts.There is really nothing about this saw that I'm unhappy with:  I wouldbuy it again.
(I'm just an amateur welder). I have three plasma cutters, 37a, 50a and 60a. I have other cold cut saws, 8", 5". I have 3 bandsaws. BUT none of them makes such nice, accurate cuts in long stock.I've been in larger shops with the big 14 inch cold cut saws working and, believe me, that loud sound will clear out anyone who can move.
This saw is pretty great with a few features that could be improved on.Good:Nice blade that's stayed sharp so far even though I predominantly use it for 45* cuts in angle stock, which is hardest on these blades.Quick tool-free fence.
works great on steel.cuts woods too. will chip teeth if you try to cut stainless steel sheet.makes loud sound when cut stainless steel.
a clamp with more lateral support would help avoid this.The front left mounting hole is right in the path of 2" stock using a 1.5" spacer (recommended to give the blade a better angle on the flat side) and prevents the stock from sitting flat.
Great product at a lower price than other company's where advertising. Also the shipping cost was also very cheap for shipping to hawaii!! Got the saw in 5 days. Good deal all around. Saw cuts good so far, been cutting 2x3 steel box.
I bought and returned an abrasive cutting saw one month prior to purchasing this unit(the abrasive saw performed poorly). In comparison, the Makita LC1230 cuts 3 x faster, much more accurately, and does not heat or discolor the steel. It is everything I hoped it would be.
Answer: yes
