It would. It's disadvantage is that you either have to vise it, or
have another person hold it while cutting. 'Though you could make a
simple holder for the saw, so that it was stationary, and you could
feed the pipe into it. That would work.

Get some wood blocks. Lay pipe on blocks. Put left foot on pipe. Saw.
Do bunches at once.


Meant to add tape the trigger down . My homemade stand has a bolt protruding
that I can mount a strip of metal on to hold it depressed .
