Re: Abrasive Grinding and Cutting Dust Safety
That's a shame because those blades are awesome! I use those same ones in the 14" dry cut metal chop saw, and with stick wax lubricant they're been holding up great. WD Quinn does great job sharpening the tips on these kinds of blades. They did my old Evolution 36-tooth multi-purpose blade, an...

Re: Abrasive Grinding and Cutting Dust Safety
That saw still turns way too fast IMO, even if it less than the RPM limit of the blade. You should not need to hone the carbide teeth after so few cuts. The ideal RPM for a 7¼ " metal cutting blade is about 2,500 RPMs. Does yours have the titanium carbide tips on the teeth, or the Cermet II ti...

Re: Abrasive Grinding and Cutting Dust Safety
Duey, make sure to use cutting fluid. It will do wonders for the longevity of your blade. Would the cutting fluid make a mess of the mitre saw? For a hobby guy, would you guys just recommend a deep cut portable band saw? I've seen people make stands for these, so that could potentially be another p...

Re: Abrasive Grinding and Cutting Dust Safety
You guys are right. This definitely isn't an ideal use of this saw and blade combo. I knew it was a compromise and that a proper cold cut saw would have been much better, but they're not widely available here. Princess Auto (Canadian version of Harbor Freight) used to sell one for pretty cheap, but ...

Re: Abrasive Grinding and Cutting Dust Safety
This little combo did an amazing job! At least 28 cuts later, got this 2x2x125 square tubing cut for ny next project, which will be my work / welding bench. This is a 7 1/4 10 amp Ryobi compound mitre saw with a Diablo Steel Demon blade. After all those cuts, the blade needs to be honed, but not bad...

Re: Abrasive Grinding and Cutting Dust Safety
I think I understand now. I'm actually going to go and buy a Ryobi 7 1/4" compound miter saw with one of the diablo blades. The saw doesnt exceed the max rpm of the blade and I am sold on the way they cut. Ryobi saw is $138 canadian pesos and the blade is $50. Plus I can do a lot of different s...

Re: Abrasive Grinding and Cutting Dust Safety
Thanks guys! For sure i would never weld anything that would put me or my loved ones at risk. I am a LONG way away from there. Even that dumbell rack has pretty ugly first time welds that I may redo one day...I really need that 20 amp circuit in my garage to increase the heat from the welder. I'm al...

Re: Abrasive Grinding and Cutting Dust Safety
I will look into those diablo blades for sure. Can you use them in high rpm tools such as angle grinders and chop saws designed for abrasive blades? I don't have access to a dry cut saw and am not sure if I can justify the expense just yet. I always move all vehicles out of the garage...wouldn't wan...

Abrasive Grinding and Cutting Dust Safety
Hey everyone! I'm brand new to welding (amateur hour over here) and this forum. I am good at wearing respirators generally and the first thing I purchased after getting a cheap mig/flux core wire feed welder (for my birthday), other than an auto darkening hood and cart, was a GVS Elipse LPR100 respi...

Re: New Guy...More Questions than Answers!
Haha, that's fair...but I need to install an upgraded circuit before I can even use my welder at its max settings. Unfortunately my garage was wired with 14 AWG and 15A breakers. Also unfortunate, but I think I'm way beyond my return date as I've already used it to weld the dumbell rack (first proje...

New Guy...More Questions than Answers!
Hey everyone, Obviously I'm new here and also brand spanking new to welding. Not exactly sure what motivated me to want to learn, but always thought it was a fascinating and admirable trade. I intend only to learn as a home hobbyist in my garage and work with MIG and flux core. I will work out of my...
