Chop Saw Question

[Protour_Pinto]

In the past I have always used a standard chop saw for my projects.



I was just looking aat the assortment of the new saws since I am in the market and wandered past the 12 inch miter saws. I see they have the same hp as the chop saws but they swivel to the part rather than trying to hold the part at an angle to get the right cut.

I know they are usually used for wood but do you think they can cut 2x4x.250 tubing safely?

With the chop saws I could get close but would have to cut a little fat and massage it into position.
