Decided to get a demo saw for cutting up metal. But which one and size to get? 14" or 16"?
Stihl the best for those as well? Want to keep it light and powerful.

I have a husqvarna k970 It can use either a 14 or 16 inch wheel. Make sure to get the biggest you can afford. I use mine primarily when im scrapping cars and you need to butcher something quick. Sometimes even with the 16 inch you still have to twist the saw all sorts of angles to get to the piece you are trying to cut. I chose husky because that is what i prefer but with these saws being made to cut cement as long as you take care of it and keep the air filter clean it seems to last much longer cutting metal.

16 all day everyday i use it to cut industrial scrap tractor trailers boats etc word of advice check the oil frequently i have almost $300 in repairs since i bought it
Well i have to choose today. My boss has a deadline to spend tool money. Looks like i have to choose between makita or husqvarna. Both good brands. We get 40% off at a store and they carry those brands. good brands just never used anything but stihl demo saw.
I can spend whatever so im going with the husqvarna k970 which is the biggest and most expensive and the only one in the store that holds a 16'' blade.
What oil are you running in yours?Quote:
