Cast and ductile are two different things, doc. Ductile is as tough as steel in many respects, and would laugh at that snap cutter.
Stanley doesnt even make a good hand tool, cant believe they are trying to get into industrial tools.
Ummm....Stanley's been making industrial tools for decades...
My personal experience with cast iron pipe and ductile iron pipe has been that ductile is quite strong and resistant to impact fracture, whereas cast iron pipe is relatively brittle; You can accidentally drop a 18' 6" stick of 8" ductile and damage the concrete lining but I've never seen one crack or break.No they're not. Ductile iron is just a type of cast iron, so technically there are SOME cast irons that aren't ductile iron, but all ductile iron is cast iron.
like what?
I don't know but here's a 300HP chainsaw.

I would if it were real.
Sure but you want chain speed to cut!
Underwater use! Definitely will work and unlike air tools not affected by depth!
Well it depends on what you're cutting.
In the video, it mentioned cutting steel pipe. Steel can wreak extreme havoc (depending on the grade of steel) on high speed blades. Some times, slower is better.
I would imagine making a rig powered off a large mining class excavator's hydraulics using 100GPM motors and a 15 foot bar on the end could own any chainsaw that people would hold.
Imagine a chain where the cutting chisels are the size of a five gallon pail!
Snapcutter or ratchet snapcutter would make short work of cast iron & ductile (in 1~5 seconds).Cast and ductile are two different things, doc. Ductile is as tough as steel in many respects, and would laugh at that snap cutter.
Well, if we're going to switch away from chains on the chainsaws, and talk about cutters the size of 5 gallon buckets, then THIS "circular saw" beats them all. So big, they don't even waste time with trees - it'd just cut out the entire tree with one tooth.

Gearing?
