We cut 1/4" thick steel tubing all day. The portaband will work--I would figure on 4 blades. A Stihl TH350 chop saw would work better--just make sure whomever is running it has used a chopsaw before, as they can tend to buck, unless really holding it--especially sideways. You would probably only need 1 blade, but I would have a 2nd on hand just in case. You can also use a 6" grinder with a wafer wheel--but I would figure on using a box of blades if you go this route. Plasma cutter would be nice, but $$$--a torch would be too sloppy.

So, in summary, my list would be
plasma cutter
6" grinder
Chopsaw
Portaband
