An option, if it's available in your neck of the woods, is a portable bandsaw. It won't cut as big a piece as the typical horizontal/vertical, but is very useful. I have a no-name Chinese 4x4 portable and a Milwaukee Chinese portable 5x5.
If you're going to try adapting existing equipment to metal cutting, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, don't exceed the recommended cutting speed (RPM) for the type of blade and the material being cut. The same tooling materials can cut wood or various metals, but at considerably different speeds. Turning the blade too fast in metal will result in tooling failure, sometimes with sharp and/or hot pieces flying around the room. I have cut aluminum on a table saw, but I fed the work into the blade very slowly.
Second, it doesn't take much imagination to picture what could happen if the saw blade were to grab the work piece out of your hand. Counting to ten could involve taking off your shoes.
I add my vote to a bandsaw made specifically for cutting metal. Wood-cutting speeds will destroy a metal-cutting bandsaw blade instantly in steel. Ask me how I know.
