I've had a Ridgid CM1450 abrasive metal chop saw for about 13 years, and it finally bit the dust. It was great - I used the hell out of it, but it's time for a replacement. I was using it on everything from 1x1/8" to 4" x .250 tubing and even 2" thick steel rods.

I've been trying to do some research online, but I don't really trust random reviews that seem to be exercises in keyword spamming with convenient affiliate links.

I'm also willing to consider a "cold" saw too - I've watched a couple of youtube videos and was impressed.

So I'm looking for suggestions.
