    Cutting 316 Stainless Steel

    Absolutely spot on with regards to product buying. From researching a lot of information regarding various machines you can tell many machines with different branding are the same machine. This reinforces the point that most are now made by one company, more often than not in China. How...

    Cutting 316 Stainless Steel

    Thanks Dave, Yes it's not easy making decisions these days with so much information on the internet and many conflicting reviews of products. Glad you're pleased with yours though and your comments about the ease of moving around are noted as this would be an advantage for me given that I...

    Cutting 316 Stainless Steel

    Thanks for the info. I'm still considering - never was good at deciding what to buy! However the info here has been very helpful. One other general question Dave, what's the build quality like of the machine? Does it appear well made and sturdy?

    Cutting 316 Stainless Steel

    Looks like a nice clean cut but I'd expect that on a new machine with new blade. Did you have to adjust much to get an accurate square cut? Anything you've noticed which you'd improve or anything not as you expected? Many thanks for taking the time to post photos.

    Cutting 316 Stainless Steel

    Many thanks for all the information. It looks like a band saw is the way to go. The Grizzly looks like a US machine so I'd need to source something similar here. Axminster tools do a few machines which may be suitable. I've emailed to get some advice. Thanks again for the guidance...

    Cutting 316 Stainless Steel

    Thanks for that. I've looked for Hafco bandsaws but they don't seem to be available in the UK. Any links to where you can get one either new or used? I found this one which looks similar. Any other suggestions greatly appreciated...

    Cutting 316 Stainless Steel

    Thanks all for the replies and information, very much appreciated. I won't be doing a huge amount of cutting of SS but want accurate cuts when I do. I've been mostly cutting 2mm wall box section around 25x25mm. Not big I know and I've previously used an angle grinder with metal cutoff wheel...

    Cutting 316 Stainless Steel

    Hi, I'm looking for some advice in purchasing a chop saw for cutting stainless steel. I've looked at a few metal cold chop saws but haven't found anything which will cut 316 stainless steel. The Evolution Evosaw 355 looks a decent well priced metal chop saw but their stainless steel cutting...
