Re: Chop saw or Band saw?

I don't make 90s all the time and it's nothing critical so I'm not concerned. It beats using a hacksaw any way you slice it (pun).

What type blade, How old of blade? How are you squaring you vice up.

I change my blade quite reqularly and only use Bi-Metal blades that run about 38.00 CAN a peice. I use my saw all the time. I find as the blade gets older the teeth curve and cuase it to dut on a downward angle. I also use a little 5" Sqaure to line the vice up to the blade.
