Plate Saw - Hybrid. This dry cut circular saw uses a special non-ferris, triple carbide tip blade with 1/8" kerf to cut through copper, bronze and brass plate up to 2" thick. Anything under 1/4 " thick is processed through our Sheet Shear. Our maximum cutting length is 8'. We regularly cut standard 4' X 10' plate to 8' lengths when processing. The cutting finish could be best described as medium.
