I have a need to cut quite a number of lengths of galvanised steel tube
(about 30)

25mm ID, 33.7mm OD e.g. http://www.fhbrundle.com/tube-14.htm

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?

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






==================================
Hire one of these from your local hire shop:

You might pick one up cheaply on Ebay.

Ah. I didn't know these things existed (at least not at that size) .
I've
seen pipe vices in use when threading, but not this.

HSS have the cutters for £8 a day and the vice for £12.

Thanks for that, Cic. Presumably all I then need is some brute force
and
ignorance.



==============================
Not much effort needed because these are the right tools for the job. Don't
force the job - make small adjustments to the cutter to get a clean cut.
You'll probably still need your angle grinder to adjust the final fitting
angles.
