I cut most stuff with my mill these days.

How?



Let's say that I want to cut a pipe, I put it in a vise and cut it
with an endmill.


So you have e.g. a 1/2" kerf?

I'm just asking - unlike other posters I'm trying very hard to be
friendly and keep the spirit of community alive.


I saw the metal-cutting table saw at HF today, on sale for $80.
That leaves only a 1/8" kerf and is likely MUCH quicker.
