I found that out today and was shocked by the difference. Not long ago I got a 6-7' piece of railroad track from a guy. Today I wanted to cut it into smaller pieces for use. I have a 14" milwaukee chop saw and went at it. In the thinner parts it went fairly good it was slower than shit in the meaty part of the rail. Had a lot of time doing one cut. Got started on the second and wanted to let the chop saw cool down a bit. I went and got my 4" grinder to remove the burrs on the first cut. I had a cutoff wheel on it from last time I used it, so I figured what the hell lets try cutting the rail with the 4". I about shit how fast that cut compared to the 14" chop saw. The blade on the chop saw is about a 3rd again thicker than the 4" wheel. Both are hi quality blades but the thickness is the biggest difference.
