Had to cut a 1.65" steel rod (don't know the steel type) so I did it with my Harbor Freight 14" 2HP cutoff saw:

The wheel it came with seemed to work better than the DeWalt ones I purchased (by better, I mean cutting through faster). I'm not sure of the specs for the HF 14" wheel, since the tag fell off some time ago.

the DeWalt is Grit 24, ceramic coated alum oxide.
Perhaps a differrent type is better
(Yes, I know I need to eventually get a bandsaw)
