Need a speed control to reduce my chopsaw speed.

SundownIII,
thanks for the tip!!!!!!! I got a new Steelmax(www.Steelmax.com) chop saw, cuts mildsteel like it says it would, WAS going to use if for some rebar!!! Guess I'll use my oxy/acet torch since I gave my abrasive one to a friend!
I would hate to have ruined a $100 blade

Bert,

No problem. Hope it did save a $100 blade.

With my Porter Cable 1410, the instruction manual (yea, I do read those things) says specifically, NOT to cut rebar. That's why I kept my DeWalt chop saw (for mystery metal).

You may want to check out FleaBay for spare blades. If you do a search for Freud Saw Blades, you'll find the Freud Diablo 14" Metal Cutting Blades. I've picked up 4 spares. All have been under $50, shipping included. They seem to work just as well as the blade that came with the saw.

On a sidenote, last fall I had to cut "a lot" of 2 x 1/4" galvanized strap to make backing plates (cheaper than $1.50 washers) for rebuilding my dock. Used the chop saw for that. Really made me appreciate the Porter Cable.

Aloha

I e a place near my house called "Sharp-Rite" in Middle***, NJ. They are a cool bunch of guys and do a nice job. Good prices too. They have a $250,000 blade sharpener that sharpens and repacks the blades in about a minute. Dave

Say and think what you want, I just don't have as much time as I uded to so never updated my stuff. Thought it was silly to combine the boards, I had my info there. If I have time in the next week or two I'll update stuff. Dave

Just speaking in general here...not picking on you.
It is sorta cool to know you have friends all over the world and when you don't know where they are at it's not nearly as cool.
Like for instance if I was to GO to Hawaii I'd prolly tell Bert I was coming.

NJ just might be different tho...took my basic training there so not my favorite place
