This is an absolute must for an industrial/commercial electrician. I was sick of carrying materials from where I was working halfway across sites back and forth with hot works permits in place to the cutting station day in day out. Now with this, I grab my tray, ladder, conduit, unistrut or whatever, and just cut it exactly where I am working. The only issue with this saw is you have to be very careful as it spits out hot sharp metal right in your direction. Use proper wrap-around safety goggles! A bit of modification using some tape and cardboard can reduce this also. Hopefully, the next Dewalt version of this brilliant tool will address this issue.
Thanks! I"ll try to get some more today. I'm very happy with it. Used it to cut vertical-rib steel siding and it works great. If you cut multiple sheets at once, clamp them tight and close to the cut.
How often do you have to replace the blade? My cold cut saw blade probably lasts about 30-50 cuts before replacing the blade (before all the tooth go missing). Which is annoying cuz those blades are expensive 😑
Yep. It's been great for steel siding and corrugated grain bin steel. Blade life is a little shorter than expected, but they're a lot cheaper than the big ones for my evolution.
The factory blade is best I've used, but I also use 30 and 50 tooth Oshlun 5-3/8" blades at less than half the price. The rake on the 50-tooth SBF-054050 is reversed, making it really nice for thin sheet metal. It cuts 29ga pole barn steel like butter and leaves no burrs or damage to the paint.
@@slpurvis1 right on! This will be a big help. If you have any of the flexvolt batteries, I'd use them when cutting thicker stuff. Avoid the 1-2Ah thin batteries altogether. Not enough current to run that thirsty motor... Also, wear good glasses or a full-faced visor, gloves, and good hearing protection. This thing is the loudest tool I own and throws hot, hateful chips.

Супер 👍👍👍
Good video! Any chance you could post some more cutting angle iron or possible some 1/2" plate? Considering getting this saw myself.

If your teeth are coming off, consider going slower. 😁 I normally cut thin sheet metal with higher tooth count blades, so they last a long time.
Still happy with the saw after having it for a while?

I just ordered this saw. Do you have a preference on blades?

@@iamthebaird damn man I really appreciate the information. It’s like you read my mind. We are starting out metal house in a few weeks.
