Reply:So you are looking for larger than the 1600?
Reply:https://www.weldersupply.com/C/2/Specials$3500 and free shipping for a 1600, plus they are good people to work with.

Reply:Originally Posted by nbmetalworxllcI haven’t looked at the Dake yet, so far I’ve looked at the Ellis,wellsaw, and hydmech. Ellis unfortunately is the only one that daul miters and it’s actually about half the price of the wellsaw for the same capacity Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Reply:Originally Posted by Lis2323The Metal Supermarket near me was selling their spare HydmechI’m pretty certain it was dual miter.  I thought about it quite a bit but passed in the end.   It was just too big. I swear it was the size of a Smart car. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Reply:I haven't run across much an 1800 won't handle. At that point it's usually easier to take whatever cutting tool to the work rather than the material to the saw. The weak link in most Ellis saws is the cam action vise. They do tend to slip when miter cutting so an additional clamp is often necessary. Fortunately it's easy enough to do with the base of the saw.
