The band saws are very good, and don't make much noise but they are slow.
Plan on other work while it cuts..

I agree, but 100 cuts will take a long time. You can add coolant flow to
speed things up. You would want a more coarse blade than what comes with
them. I think 6-8 TPI would be about right.
Might be worthwhile going to one size larger and get a better saw if
it will cut faster.

out 14" chop saws. I am thinking of buying a horizontal bandsaw. Any
suggestions on what equipment to use.

worked
for countless others!
