I have the Dewalt 14" Multi-Cutter Saw as seen ( here ) but have some issues that Im wondering if I didn't cause myself.
I have been cutting on mostly mild steel, and then this little project came up that is requiring me to use 6o61 T6. After cutting on the AL for a while, I went out this morning to cut 3' off of a 1o' 3.5" x 3.5" 1/4" thick angle iron, to which the blade was not having any of it. No way was this thing wanting to do anything short of just making a whole lot of noise, and a few sparks.
Is it possible that you can not go from one type of metal ( ferrous to non-ferrous ) without changing out the blade?
Which sucks, is that this blade has literally no more than 5o cuts total on it and it's now got to go out to get re-sharpened either way.
Doing a check online makes me wonder, as I can and do see blades that are specifically for non-ferrous metals.
Is it time to pony up and just get two different blades?
