Well,  I've just aquired a small circular bench saw, do they produce a saw for thin sheet steel and such?   ::)  Cheers,   Tony.
I may be growing OLD, but I refuse to grow UP !

 You could get a blade  but the gearing would probably be wrong also Unless the motor on the sawbench is  completely sealed then metal filings would be drawn into the motor which would short it out! or are you asking if you can get a dedicated sheet metal saw bench?

Very good point about the swarf smu6ie.  :ohmy: Looks like I'll be sticking to the splitter disks on my angle grinder.   Cheers,   Tony.
