I'm trying to start my amateur welding career and work my way up to fixing my rusty '74 parts car. For now I just need to miter cut some 1/8 " angle iron.
I have an angle grinder, sawzall and miter saw but never miter cut steel before. Will one of these do with a metal cutting blade or should I just bite the bullet and buy a real cut off saw. If so, any suggestions on what to buy? TIA. |

seriously, I usually use a sawzall. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) (Disclaimer: I was born into a family of old-school welders.
