this to say:

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?

I would use a power hacksaw.

Then again, I have ready access to one!



Didn't know they existed. Looks eminently sensible.

I prefer a bandsaw cut-off machine, which looks much the same except that it
cuts continuously, whereas the power hacksaw spend half its time on the back
stroke, so it cuts much faster.
