Functional Introduction
Simply put, the Cold Saw cuts materials.
More specifically, the Cold Saw rotates a circular blade with sharp teeth to chip away at the material being cut.
The Cold Saw is "cold" because the thermal energy generated during the cutting process is transferred to the chips instead of the blade or the remaining material.
Movement Rationale
Should the blade move towards the workpiece, or the workpiece move toward the blade, or both?
Classification
A system to rotate the blade.
A system to move the blade closer to the workpiece.
A system to hold the workpiece.
