Topic: Yet Another Tool Discussion - Circular Saws

[CTENG in KS]

In my constant search to find the best cutting tool for me and my little garage with nothing but a 110 outlet, I came across several different types of steel cutting blades for circular saws.  Does anyone have any experience with these?  Both the toothed blades and the consumable cutt=off wheel type bl;ades?  How is it for speed...one of my biggest issues is cutting with the grinder can take a while for longer cuts in 3/16 - 1/4 inch sheet.  I worry that my neighbors will get mad about the noise (apartment complex).  If I could cut my cutting time down, that would be a huge help.

Discuss!
Thanks!

Whatever you get, make sure the RPM rating for the blade is as much as, or greater than the RPM rating for the saw. If you go with a metal blade, get the carbide tipped, they're worth it.

Craftsman twin cutter it is a catalog only item around here they don't stock them but they are awesome on metal.  A good investment for 179.99

A cicular saw for cutting metal will take a while and could be dangerous if it kicks back. I have a special blade I use for diamond plate aluminum, but would not think about using it on steel.

A sawsall would be better if you use it right Maybe even a small band saw would be a good investment. Oxy. Acy. would work too, but there will be some grinding involved after.

Plasma is the best way, but costly.

Wish I had room for an air tank, I'd get a plasma, but that is for later.  I may just have to keep on with the cut off ont he grinder?
