I am new to the boards, but man haev I learned a lot already. Anyway I own a small custom shop in south GA specializing in custom auto work and custom suspension work, mainly air bags and hydros. But that is unimportant. Either way for the last year or so I have been using a Dewalt Chop and have hated it since th day I bought it. I have been delegating money to buy a cold cut saw and I am now ready. I am looking for help as to where to go, personal usage, etc. I am looking into 250mm blade or bigger and must have abilty to swing for 45 degree cuts liek the Dake 250. Been looking into the saw, and was curious if anyone knows anything about it.

Also USED saws are a great option but have no idea where to start looking

personally, i like my scotchman cold saw.
never used a dake, but I see them on all the fabing tv shows nowadays.

I am jsut curious as to how all the other saws Dake, Scotchman, etc are over $2500 and then this one is $1699 for a 14" version or $999 for 10" version. Just curious as to what to look for exactly.

If you are selling the chop saw, I would be happy to take it off your hands- Ive been looking for a Dewalt chop saw.

I use a brown 300 ( Pedrazzoli) its a 12" and after 5+ years I can say the next one well be a scotchman 14" .I used them in the past and there the chit.
