Chop Saws
14-Inch Abrasive Chop Saws
Abrasive chop saws cut steel tube, angle, rebar, and conduit with a bonded abrasive wheel. All seven saws here are 14-inch models. The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2990 brings the format to battery power as a tool only or with a 12.0Ah kit. Corded options include the DeWALT D28710, D28730, and D28715 with QUIK-CHANGE keyless blade change, the SKIL SPT64MTA-01, and the Porter Cable PC14CTSD.
What to Look For
- Power source. Cordless chop saws work where there is no outlet. Corded saws need an outlet or generator but never a battery swap.
- Wheel changes. Keyless blade change systems make swapping worn wheels faster.
- Vise. A quick-release vise speeds up repeat cuts and holds round stock.
- Sparks. Set up away from flammables and wear eye and face protection.

Chop Saws FAQ
Abrasive chop saw or metal cutting circular saw?
An abrasive chop saw uses low-cost wheels and cuts nearly any steel shape. A carbide metal cutting saw cuts cooler with fewer sparks and a cleaner edge but has higher blade cost. Fabricators often keep both.
Is the Milwaukee M18 FUEL chop saw a real replacement for corded?
For jobsite cutting of strut, conduit, and rebar, it is built to be. It removes the need for a generator or long cord, which helps on remote sites and upper floors.
