Hi John,

Thank you for the prompt reply. Better safe than sorry. My 14'' abrasive cut off wheel works great for chop cutting but 45 degree angles on 1/8 x 3'' flat bar just heat hardens the material regardless of feed pressure. I may need to seek out alternative cut methods.

Gentlemen: Can the abrasive cut off blade that comes standard with the DeWalt 14” cut of saw be replaced safely with the DeWALT 14 70T Heavy Gauge Ferrous Metal Cutting Circular Saw Blade - DW7747? Or: Do I need to purchase a new cut off saw specifically designed to use these ferrous cutting blades?

Thanks fellas.

I'm sure I will have plenty of questions as time goes on.
