A cold metal cutting saw is a hand-held, mechanically powered tool capable of cutting a thin size of chain. It has a sharp, circular blade and is able to achieve more accurate cutting than a metal cutting band saw. The cutting blade is usually made of cermet (a ceramic-metallic solid that is resistant to heat). A hand-held cold metal saw can cut through chains that are 6 mm thick.
A plasma cutter, sometimes called a plasma torch, uses a gas that is inert. The gas or compressed air is forced out at a high rate of speed through a nozzle. The gas is then bisected with an electrical current, which creates a stream of plasma from the gas. The plasma essentially melts the metal, which makes the cut on the metal used in making the chain.
The EK chain cutting and riveting tool is made from hardened steel and is used to cut motorcycle chains by removing the small rod used to adjoin the small metal rods adjoining the clamping plates. The tool can also be used to connect the rods by inserting the clamping plates. Moreover, the motorcycle chain cutter has its own adjoining metal rods and clamping plates.
The circular saw can cut through any metallic material, provided that a proper cutting tool is used. Circular saws are power hand-held tools frequently used by construction professionals to cut through any small metallic rods and chains during demolition of large structures. The saw's electric motor spins a sharpened or abrasive blade that cuts through thick and thin metal. Metal-cutting circular saw blades, also called cut-off blades or discs, feature an abrasive coating of carbide or diamond.
