[QUOTE="johndeerefarmer, post: 1084928, member: 2084"] I just cut 18 pieces of 2 x 2 x 1/4" square tubing. Going through the flat sides takes lots of down force, once you hit just the two walls it's easy. Then when you hit the bottom flat side again you really have to press down. I always try to cut metal so that I am going thru the least amount of steel at once. For example I also just cut some 3 x 3 x 1/4" angle. I put it in the chop saw like a triangle with the point up. If I had of laid it down flat I would be trying to cut through a 3" flat surface. Basically you just need to bear down on the chop saw until the sparks fly. My B&D industrial chop saw was bought probably 15-20 years ago and is still going strong and it's on it's original brushes. Lots of the time I will actually use my forearm and press down with my upper body weight. [/QUOTE]
