metal chop saw.

A handheld‑style power saw mounted on a fixed base, designed to make straight, quick cuts through metal stock—like rebar, pipe, angle iron, or other steel pieces. It has a powerful motor driving a large, circular cutting wheel or blade; you pull the handle to bring the spinning blade down onto the workpiece, which is held in place by a vise on the base. The body is usually a mix of metal and plastic, with a guard around the blade and a clamping mechanism on the bed.
