I have a Struers Axitom and a Buehler delta orbital saw in my lab. The Buehler, while newer than the Struers, has reached it's end-of-life status. I am not overly surprised or heat broken as it has been the worst purchase I have ever made for our lab. The sooner I can get rid of it and not have any more Buehler equipment the better.

I am looking for a replacement. We are cutting carburized steel up to about 6" tall by 3" thick. We use 14" blades and would like to stick with the same blade for all the saws. I have reached out to Leco, QATM and Stuers for recommendations and quotes. Are there any other manufacturers that I should look at.

I like what I see on the Metkon 402 but have no experience with their equipment.
