A chop saw machine is a power tool that is used to make accurate cuts in wood, plastic, and metals. The chop saw has a fixed blade, attached to a moving arm that spins over a small workbench. Chop saws are used to create a rough, initial abrasive cut in a desired material like wood, metal etc. In principle, a chop saw is an electrically powered heavy motor which turns a high speed abrasive cutting wheel. Wide variety of parts can be machined by using this chop saw machine. The chop saw machine can make an straight, initial abrasive cut in a material to either make the piece of better workable size or to create rough outline of a desired shape of material. The chop saw machine is used in the initial stages of a project making because of the draft quality present in its work. Normally a initial straight cross cut is made with the chop saw machine table set at the 0° position.

An cut off machine or abrasive saw, also known as a cut off saw or metal chop saw machine, is a power tool which is typically used to cut hard materials, such as metals and wood. The cutting action is performed by an abrasive wheel, similar to a thin grinding process. The saw machine generally has a built in vice or other clamping tool arrangement, and has the cutting disc and motor mounted on a pivoting arm attached to a fixed base plate. They typically use composite friction cutting blades to abrasively cut through the steel.  The abrasive wheels are consumable items as they wear throughout the cut.
