Any advice on cutting square tube?

Nah, not you, for some reason most web forums have a weak search. Always "Go advanced" and select all and try two words, the search box is almost useless for searching

As for me in cutting square tubing I use a chop saw for a good square cut. Mickey

Of coarse this depends on the thickness of the tubing. If it is thick you will need the porta saw but if not the chop saw works fine for my thinner metals. Mickey

I gave up, I surrendered to my perfectionism and sacrificed my frugalness this time. Bought a nice shiny new Milwaukee 14" saw. 6180-20, damn it's a sweet machine. I think I'm happier dropping the $200 on it than I would have been on a harbor freight horizontal bandsaw. I'll save my pennies and get a good horizontal down the road.

I debated a base for the porta-band, but decided if I did it I needed to buy a real porta-band and not a HF knockoff... the price drove above the $200 budget I had.

Harbor freight band saws suck if looking for nice straight cuts. I made stand for mine to make vertical saw, better control but not great. Chop saw works okay but Milwakee is wat to go.
