Wet Abrasive Cutting for Demanding Shop Applications
The Kalamazoo K10SW 10-inch wet abrasive chop saw cuts metal wet — cleanly, accurately, and without the heat damage that slows production. Its 3HP motor and built-in flood coolant system deliver burn-free cuts on mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and alloy steels. Your materials stay cool and true from the first cut to the last. Whether you need to prepare stock for welding, size blanks for machining, or keep up with high-volume orders, this American-made saw handles it all.
Lab and Quality Applications
- Sample Preparation — Labs and testing facilities use the K10SW to cut precise test coupons and material samples. The coolant system prevents heat distortion, so your samples stay accurate and ready for analysis right off the saw.
- Quality Control — Consistent, repeatable cuts support your quality control process from start to finish. The adjustable down stop and cam lock vise hold tight tolerances, so every piece meets spec without rework.
Production and Fabrication Applications
- Prototype Machining — When your shop takes on prototype machining projects, speed and accuracy matter most. The K10SW lets you rough-cut bar stock and plate quickly, so your CNC machines spend less time removing excess material.
- Precision Metal Product Fabrication — Shops that build any precision metal product count on clean edges and square cuts. The flood coolant eliminates burrs and burn marks, so your parts are ready for the next step immediately.
- Structural Metal Cutting — For shops that work with structural metal like angle iron, channel, and tubing, the K10SW handles solids up to 1.5 inches and pipes up to 2.5 inches. The heavy-duty cast iron base and steel stand hold steady through every cut, even during long production runs.

K10SW Frequently Asked Questions
The K10SW is a 10-inch industrial wet abrasive chop saw made in the USA. Its flood coolant system delivers clean cuts on steel, stainless, and cast iron. Built for welding shops, fabrication shops, machine shops, and CNC machining companies.
Mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and alloy steels. The coolant keeps temperatures low so you can cut harder metals without heat damage.
Solid round stock up to 1.5" and pipes up to 2.5" in diameter. These ratings are based on mild steel. The saw uses a 10-inch abrasive cutoff wheel, sold separately.
A built-in pump circulates coolant from a 10-gallon steel tank through a flexible nozzle directed at the cut zone. This keeps the blade and material cool, prevents burn marks, and extends the life of your abrasive wheels.
Ships at 51" L x 37" W x 63" H and weighs about 400 lbs crated. Once set up, it has a compact footprint that fits well in most shops.
The coolant system prevents heat-affected zones so your material properties stay intact. That means fewer rejects, less rework, and a better finished product.
Cast iron base, cast aluminum saw arm, and heavy-duty steel stand. This construction absorbs vibration and holds up to daily industrial use year after year.
