-'''Summary: A blade rotates. The blade and/or workpiece move toward the other. The blade cuts the workpiece.'''

-'''Conclusions: A blade rotation system rotates the blade. A movement system moves the blade and workpiece together. A hold system holds the workpiece during the cut.'''
-Notes: The blade should move toward the workpiece in order to facilitate angled cuts which would otherwise require rotation of the workpiece about the vertical axis, which is practically incompatible with linear workpiece feed (imagine having to move around heavy linear feed equipment at the side of the cold saw for every angled cut)
