Cutting metal’s not just about brute force, you need gear that’s built for precision, speed, and safety. Whether you're a seasoned tradie or a serious DIYer, the right cutting gear is key to a clean, pro-grade finish. At Tool Kit Depot, we've got a solid range of cold cut and cut off saws designed to slice through steel, aluminium, and other demanding materials with ease.

A cold cut metal saw is a type of metal-cutting circular saw designed for slicing through metal with low heat generation, and is ideal for cutting steel, aluminium, and other non-ferrous metals. Cold cut drop saws (also known as drop saws) are perfect for repetitive, accurate cuts.
While regular cut off saws create sparks and heat, a cold cut saw uses a toothed blade that shears through the material, leaving a clean, cool, and virtually burr-free cut. This results in a superior finish and often eliminates the need for secondary grinding or finishing work.
What is a cut-off saw used for?
A cut-off saw, also known as a chop saw, is a powerful tool used for quickly cutting through hard materials like metal, masonry, and concrete. It typically uses an abrasive disc to slice through the material by friction, generating heat and sparks. These saws are popular for rough cutting, where speed and raw power are more important than a precision finish.
They’re often used on construction sites for cutting rebar, steel pipe, angle iron, or even concrete pavers.
What is the difference between a mitre saw and a metal cut off saw?
The difference between a mitre saw and a metal cut off saw lies in their intended purpose and the materials they're designed to cut.
A mitre saw is primarily used for cutting wood and softer materials, offering precise angle cuts for framing, trim, and carpentry. It uses a toothed blade that rotates at a high speed.
A metal cut off saw is built specifically for cutting various metals. It uses an abrasive disc that grinds through tough materials, generating significant heat and sparks, and is generally used for straight cuts.
