A pneumatic saw and quick-clamp assembly that lets users cut steel plate up to 2" thick and 15' wide anywhere there is a 90-psi compressed air supply is available from ESCO Tool. ESCO's APS-438 air-powered Saw and Quick-Clamp lets workers take the saw to the steel plate rather than transporting the plate to a large table saw and can produce square cuts with no HAZ. Featuring a 2"-wide steel track with two wedge-style clamps for attaching to the plate, the pneumatic saw mounts on a bracket that glides along the track using four V-grooved steel wheels. Providing a cut line indicator gage to simplify setup and alignment, the Quick-Clamp's track comes in 5' to 15' sections. The saw is powered by a 3-hp motor. It square-cuts steel plate using fiberglass-reinforced blades and is also suited for cutting boiler tube panels up to 4" thick. The saw and Quick-Clamp sell for $5,795.00 (list) and are available for rent in the continental USA.

sawing machine ( saw)
Machine designed to use a serrated-tooth blade to cut metal or other material. Comes in a wide variety of styles but takes one of four basic forms: hacksaw (a simple, rugged machine that uses a reciprocating motion to part metal or other material); cold or circular saw (powers a circular blade that cuts structural materials); bandsaw (runs an endless band; the two basic types are cutoff and contour band machines, which cut intricate contours and shapes); and abrasive cutoff saw (similar in appearance to the cold saw, but uses an abrasive disc that rotates at high speeds rather than a blade with serrated teeth).
