I bought this type of saw based on Ron Fournier"s first book, because it was the most versatile way to cut so many things. It's pretty slow to use for cutting 1/4 plate steel but works great with lots cleaner edge than using a torch. Until I get a Beverly, this and my Kett electric shear (added since the Makita saw) are what I use.
