Prepare your cutting application

Before requesting a recommendation, collect your material grade, stock shape, outside dimensions, wall thickness, cut length, miter angle, tolerance and pieces required per shift. Include the voltage and phase available in your shop. Check the exact model’s capacity chart: a straight-cut rating does not establish capacity at every miter angle.

Request a metal-cutting saw recommendation. CML USA can help compare configurations; confirm machine specifications and availability before ordering.
