As explained in a follow-up post, a simple cutoff saw isn't the
answer.

It isn't the answer for you, perhaps. I typically can cut square
within 0.005" per 1" of cross-section by carefully squaring the
workholding vise to the cutoff wheel or bandsaw blade. The incentive
to get it close is my surface grinder which removes only 1 - 2
thousandths per pass, so I know immediately how far off square the cut
was when I clean it up.
