Chop saws look similar to miter saws, but they do only one thing: tilt straight down. They are most commonly fitted with an abrasive cutting wheel (like a very thin grinding wheel) and are used to cut rebar (steel bar used to reinforce concrete) and other sorts of steel rod and bars. (Soft metals like aluminum and brass are better cut with a carbide blade in a miter saw.)
