who has a dry cut chop saw?

[GTXHUNTER88]

I've broken my last blade today had enough, time to go dry cut. Who has one? Which brand is best? I need real life experiencers no online review junk. Cutting 3.5-4inch drill pipe approx 100 pipes per day so about 1,000 cuts on average I'd say.

I've got a 14" dewalt. Cutting 4" schedule 40 it likes to dish out just a little bit, which is annoying. It's not a bad saw, but it's definitely not the best either. The clamp on it is pretty decent, but for 4" pipe it helps a lot to stick some plates in for added support. The fences aren't tall enough for 4" and end up pushing up on it some.

I've got one that we use on thicker metals. Cut 1/4" like a dream, the blades last longer when cutting thicker metals rather than thin s tubing.

I've got a Porter Cable. The blades I use are Tenyru. Works well.

I got a dewalt and milawakee of however you spell it. They both cut sure enough. But they get annoying to me. I couldn't imagine 1000 cuts per day. Or even 100 per day. The port-a-band hand saws work pretty good for me. But, it's hard to cut straight.
