I needed to cut 22" lengths of 1/2" aluminum round stock along the axis to give me half rounds for a project. After several failed attempts with a table saw, band saw, and horizontal mill, I decided to make a more permanent jig than just a make shift fence clamped to the table.
I drilled and reamed a 1/2" in a 1"x1-1/2" aluminum bar, I clamped the bar perpendicular to the blade on the band saw table and fed the round stock threw the hole in the jig and it worked like a charm. I had 5 lengths to cut and it took about a half hour including making the jig.
