Geof,
What type of miter saw and blades do you recommend? I think if it'll work for 2.5" D round bar it should probably also work for 1" square bars. I want to cut some 1" aluminum squares cube from a bar stock and originally I thought about mounting 30" section of the bar and milling out the 1" cubes but I think I will waste a lot of material that way. Horizontal bandsaws seems like it's more difficult to operate for small pieces and more expensive for low volume cutting.
thanks,
John
