This dry cut metal saw performs cutting without sparks, noise, smell, or heat build up. Pieces can actually be picked up and used right after cutting. The premium 90 tooth carbide blade actually cuts the metal instead of grinding it, revolutionizing metal working and increasing blade life. One carbide blade lasts as long as 37 abrasive blades. The blade also does not wear like an abrasive wheel and always has the same cutting capacity. Capacity is 5-1/8" round, 3-3/4"x7" rectangular, or 4-3/4" square. Great for a variety of metal applications including pipe, angle iron, metal studs, conduit, tubing, and more. Convenient built-in carrying handle, chip collector, and spindle lock for one wrench blade changes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I'd bought one earlier, July 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Porter-Cable 1410 15 Amp 14-Inch Metal Cutoff Machine (Tools & Home Improvement)

I really love this tool. After using a 14" abrasive cut-off machine for years, it's a delight to use a saw that cuts so cleanly and precisely, makes few sparks, no smoke or smell, generates very little heat in the work (you can pick up the material and handle it with bare hands almost immediately), and is well designed. It has a heavy-duty cast iron base, a well-designed blade guard, and feels solid. The only change I would make would be to add a quick-release vise. I use heavy gauge structural steel pipe and tube (up to 3/8" wall thickness, up to 5" diameter pipe) in my welded sculpture and this machine handles it with ease. Well worth the additional dollars over the cost of a regular abrasive chop saw, especially when you consider blade cost and blade life. Follow directions and be sure to clamp your work securely before beginning the cut. Let the saw do the work and don't force it - this will help ensure long blade life. Use only for ferrous metals - this tool is not meant to be used with aluminum, brass, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great replacement for the Abrasive Wheel Saw, November 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Porter-Cable 1410 15 Amp 14-Inch Metal Cutoff Machine (Tools & Home Improvement)

Plenty of power, cuts through 1/2 inch thick material like a hot knife through butter! Follow instructions for cutting wide material in order to preserve blade life. This is one of the best buys I have ever made. This saw cuts 3 times faster than an abrasive wheel, and smoother than a bandsaw. Only wish a larger one was available.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good saw, but bad seal and packaging., April 13, 2001

"guy_holiday" (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Porter-Cable 1410 15 Amp 14-Inch Metal Cutoff Machine (Tools & Home Improvement)

In terms of cutting, this saw is great. The tool could use two enhancements. First, the vise does not allow quick changes to the angle setting. If you do not absolutely tighten the two clumsy-to-access angle setting allen screws very very tightly, then firmly clamping in the workpiece can cause the angle setting to stray. Second, I feel the mechanism to hold the saw closed is not in line with the general quality of the tool (especially when you consider the nice carrying handle built into the saw). A cheap thin chain and hook is used. Releasing and engaging the chain leaves scratches on the clear protection shield which presses against the hook. Unfortunately, my saw was delivered with a factory defect, and I had to return it. One of the primary seals on the bearing housing was not installed properly and oil leaked out when I ran the tool for the first time. ... In spite of my enhancement recommendations and assembly defect, there is no mistaking that this tool is a solid piece of equipment.

Update:

The second tool arrived with two problems. First, there was again an oil leak between the inner gear housing and the outer gear housing. The oil leaked out at a rate of about a drop every day and a half. Second, it was clear that the blade had made indentations in the chip pan, causing removal of the pan to be difficult. I believe that both of these problems were the result of a shipping packaging design flaw (thin foam under the base) which fails to protect the tool during shipment.

I decided to go with the DeWalt DW872, which has the features I recommended above. Although the DW872 arrived with no problems, it is clearly not as heavy duty as the Porter Cable. The blade guard is a flimsey flopsey piece of plastic and the noise from the saw is ear shattering.
