"What are you making with 2" steel ?"
I wrote that post with sorta "tongue in cheek".
However, here is what I have done with my saw.
Cut 4" x 4" square steel tubing (3/16" walls) for my neighbor's travel
trailer bumper.
Cut aluminum plate and bars for various projects (like to work with
aluminum)
Brass and steel bars as needed.
As for as using the saw in the vertical position, I made a game piece
out of 1/8" stainless steel plate. This "train" spinner is about 8" in
diameter, and has rectangular cut-outs around the perimeter and one in
the center. (cut-outs fit domino pieces)
This was tough, wore out a carbon steel blade doing it. (made me
appreciate bi-metal) I had no bi-metal with the teeth close enough for
the thin metal.
The one feature that I like the most is the fact that you can cut the
stock almost to the exact size. (when i used my old hacksaw, i allowed
1/8" for crooked cuts)
