Need Help In Cutting My Aluminum Rods

image_21195.jpg this is the type of saw I would buy
I'm not sure what is available where you are but this saw is popular in the US
you just take a boundle of the rods and place a hose clamp around them at the end to clamp them tight
so they don't spin, wrap tape around each section your wanting, set the stop to the length and cut them. You will need a fine toothed blade to keep them from grabbing.
debur one end on a wire wheel so it goes in the collet easily

Thanks. What is that giant thing??? Looks too expensive for me unfortunately. I'm only looking to spend around £150 at the most.
 
Ahh I see... is that the same as the bandsaw I linked on the previous page?
 
Without actually seeing the chop saw in person it is hard to tell. But the reviews speak well of it. If they had that same model here over the pond at Harbor freight I would go look at it. If the teeth on the blade are fine enough I think it would do the job.
 
the only one I seen on the last page was a vertical band-saw and looked to be for wood cutting not metal.
A horizontal metal cutting band-saw would serve you better, you don't have to hold the part to cut it and you can cut in bulk not just one at a time.
the blades travel speed is too fast in a wood saw for metal.
