Hi Gary,

What sort of cutting tool is that, I want to cut a new one in half here to make a pressure pot, but being in Vietnam I wanted to be sure of the blade and machine before I crack into it.

That is just a "cut off saw", it is a band saw, if you are cutting aluminum the metal blade would suffice. If the blade is used I would oil as it cuts, but that is just me.
