The idea of a guillotine is pretty interesting...

I see nothing that's in my price range for a cold saw (500$). Not
enthusiastic over a chop saw with it's magic spark fountain.

Could a gearhead motor be fitted to a chop saw frame to give the
50RPM needed?

Did you see this thread awhile back that azotic brewed up?

Having a need for a compact metal cutting saw i decided to
have some fun building one. Foot print is 8" X 10", cutting
capacity is 3" X 6", equiped with a DC motor gives variable
speed capability for a variaty of materials. Vise is
removable and replaced with a small rotory table for angle
cuts. Total cost is about $100.00 using new surplus
components purchased on ebay. Construction time is under 8
hours.

Pix 4 shows a test cut.

Ideas, sugestions, comments welcome.
