Uni strut

[Pete999]

When I was traveling we used to use a lot of uni strut and used to cut it with a metal cutting chopsaw, that was a long time ago, is there anything on the market that has been brought out recently, or better still, what method do you guys use, as I say it's been a while and things have moved on. The reason I ask is I have a mate who has asked me the very same question, and would like to help, so grateful for any ideas.

Hog works is a new one on me

It's the place where they take pigs to kill them and chop them up into bacon for our breakfasts.

But without proper training how do you know that you are using it correctly?
I learned a few things when I did the training and I thought I was more than capable already.

Accepted, but I am Mr safety and careful etc so probably using it too well, I think so long as you are not a nonse and have common sense you should be ok. But I do accept what you are saying.

The points I learned were to do with the importance of matching tool speed to blade speed, rotation direction of the blades, the fact that some blades have a use by date, the correct way to tighten the blade (don't use the peg spanner)

I have the makita 18V circular saw cuts through uni like a knife through butter! Barely leaves a burr either! Well worth the money and didn't need batteries as I just use my drill ones!
Someone on here mentioned it first and I went out and brought it. No regrets

makita do two different saws.

a metal and wood one. if i recall the only difference is the rpm and the supplied blade

I use the Hilti SCM-22A. Cuts through strut like butter.

No ones mentioned the evolution cold cut saw!

I heard that sometimes, they even last long enough to cut a section of uni s before completely disintegrating!
