I'm getting my welding rig together. So far I have a Lincoln 140T welder, and 55 cu. ft. tank filled with 75% Argon and 25% CO2, a welding car, gloves, jacket, and apron.

One thing I need to be able to do to make things out of metal is to cut metal.

I have an angle grinder, but that seems inadequate for making long, straight cuts in steel.

I'd like to be able to cut up to 1/8" steel, which works out to be about 10 gauge if my math is right.

Any recommendations on a tool for doing metal cutting?

I've looked at shears, and they seems to get very pricey very quickly. I supposed I could put some kind of metal-cutting blade in my table saw, but the sparks are a deal killer and the blades would wear out quickly.
