Just putting this out there for general use.
I checked with my local Lowes, Home Depot, and tool and supply business looking for a relatively inexpensive cut-off saw. Based on what I've seen on YouTube and other places it looks like this will do the trick:
http://www.harborfreight.com/bench-top- ... 42307.html at $34.99 plusa flat rate shipping of $6.99
Then I checked Sears and found the same exact thing: http://www.sears.com/bench-top-saw-cut- ... ockType=G8 for $249.00 plus $39.94 for S&H. Amazing!!!!
Anyone have any thumbs down for the Harbor Freight offering or have a better product to recommend?
Thanks!

Re: cut-off saw
HF stuff is OK
it may only last a couple of years, but at their price that is fine
I have a $20 heat gun and grinder from HF that I have used for years

I'd estimate I've done about 1500 pieces of brass with my Harbor Freight chop saw with no problems. Actually did a 100 more today with it.
Re: cut-off saw
I've done about 1k on mine without issue. The blade shows no sign of dulling at all.

Re: cut-off saw
If you only cut cases with the HF saw it will last a long time...

That reminds me....Jailer wrote:I've done about 1k on mine without issue. The blade shows no sign of dulling at all.
If you decide to make a 300 BLK case from a boxer primed STEEL .223 case like I tried, now that will dull your blade.

Another HF fan here. Works well!
Re: cut-off saw
Mine works great, especially at the price. I was shocked to get a decent little saw for that price.
