    Me. I would just do the cut off wheel routine since a pack of 10 wheels are only a few bucks
    I watched the pitch and the thing has dual blades spinning in opposite directions, one CW and one CCW so it's not just the blade(s). Like wingman9 says it is going to take a kerf - I'm surprised it's able to keep it to 1/8". May be a neat tool, but not sure it's the right one for your pie-cut.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Yeah, the blades spin in opposite directions, so it kinda nibbles the material you are cutting. From the cuts it made on the car they were cutting up it loooked pretty straight. One good thing is I have 30 days to return it if it doesn't do the job I need it for.

    I could use the plasma cutter, but I hate that thing. I keep burning the tops of my feet when sparks go down my shoes. And the bandsaw will tend to cut the two walls of the tubing differently. As for a sawzall, I am really dangerous with one of those. So this looked like a good alternative.

    Glad to see some of you have one and that it isn't a total piece of crap.
