If you really wanted to go all-balls out you could get a sheet metal brake and bender that carpenters use for aluminum. I have an old one that i picked up used off some carpenter for $100...the thing's 8 feet long, and is 32" deep. Just need 2 people to move it cause it weighs about 200 pounds and is awkward as ----.

I agree, I used mine three times, and replaced it with a dry cut chop saw from Milwaukee. It was $500 bucks and replacement blades are $169, but man is it fast and clean. The cuts are better than any chop saw or bandsaw.

Damn, DeWalt and Makita make a pretty good chop saw for quite a bit less that than. :-X

I use a Makita hole hog at work and it's a ------- Rolls Royce compared to the Milwaukee we used to use. I would burn those Milwaukees up left and right, but I have yet to burn a Makita up.

It's not a regular chop saw. It does not use the abrasive blades. It uses a blade that looks like a carbide tipped wood blade for a circular saw, but is for metal. It produces much fewer sparks and mess. The cut is so clean, that there is no cleanup of the work piece required. No grinding, beburring, or anything, just cut and go. It's as fast as an abrasive chop saw, less mess than a band saw (which says a lot), and a better cut than either the chop or bandsaw. Just pricey.
