Got a cut off wheel? Bandsaw?
I use my bandsaw for 90% of my cutting the loud, noisy chop saw sits under a bench.

 

What this guys said. Since I got my 7x12 bandsaw I haven't even seen my chop saw. I don't know how I cut anything strait before.

 

Cold saw or make a guide and use a plasma. If you don't have either, neither option is cheap. But would be the "easiest"

 

So I have a cutoff wheel and a chopsaw and have been looking for bandsaw any one in particular and what blade

 

How much you wanna spend ??? HF for $200.00 or a ELLIS for $2500.00. Depends how much use you have and how much you want to invest.

 

You can do it with a torch if your good with one. If not then a cold saw.

 

I highly recommend the Milwaukee portable band saw. They are around $300 new and less if you find a decent one used. I cut everything from wood to aluminum to steel with it and nothing cuts faster. The only limit is how far 'into' a piece it can cut (OK cutting at the end of large pieces or just about anywhere in a long, skinny piece, but not so good at cutting in the middle of a large sheet of material).

Has anyone tried a metal blade on a chopsaw? A surplus place here in Houston sell the 14" for 120$ and they use it on there chopsaws but they only cut straight not 45 degrees.

 

You cannot put metal cutting blade in a wood chop saw and cut steel like your thinking. The rpm is way too fast. Nor can you pit the blade in your abrasive chop saw. You must have a dry cut metal chop saw. Such as the evolution or dewalt (dw872 its the one I have) or Milwaukee has one also.

No that note I would say a metal chop saw is probably the fastest way to cut angle. Mine will chop through a 3X3X1/4 in about 10-12 seconds. It may be much louder than a bandsaw, and tosses way more metal chips around than a band saw, but it's quick and works great.

 

A metal cutting Horizontal band saw can do the job.
