I would expect so !
The 7 inch diamond saws from HF ($69.00) are MUCH easier to use than
a Dremel type.
The wet saw blades make it a easier to breathe device as well.
Having a fence allows perfectly straight cuts and unlike a shear, you
can make board after board exactly the same dimmentions.
Also, unlike a shear, you can trim a sliver off the end or side or
corner.
7" Bench mount - 40315-1VGA $69.00
7" Portable - 91511-0VGA #$69.00
4" 3733-0VGA $59.00
Oddly, they only carry the 4" blades, 3 for $10.00
Also, oddly, Homier has a diamond blade, but does not list it's
size. homier.com 04269 Saw Blade
The saws also offer miter guides so angled cuts can be made.
Yes, it makes the decision harder, but the shear, brake and roll can
help make boxes..... ( get both ! )
