I have a need to cut quite a number of lengths of galvanised steel tube

A hacksaw is going to become boring for doing this quite quickly I think
so I am looking for a faster alternative.


Is this angle grinder territory? If so, can anybody suggest a suitable
cutting wheel?


If you have an angle grinder, stands to do right angle cuts are pretty
cheap. A metal cutting disc should do it.

Otherwise, is a more substantial saw like a cutoff saw required?
