OK. I don't because psychic v1.0 not installed. Enlighten me and then
provide cost difference between the two sources.
Always willing to learn.

Thanks.
If I ever need to build the same, I'll keep this in mind.

+1. That's a lot of cuts though - would a chop saw/decent blade work here?

I used an angle grinder with a steel cutting disc (or more accurately
several) before. But the stand for it isn't as nice as the chop saw I have
(but no longer use) Trouble is it's a B&Q cheapy and uses 210mm blades
with an 18mm bore, so not exactly standard. And 18mm adaptor rings ain't
the easiest to find either. Also not sure if it runs rather fast for a
steel cutting blade - the ones I've seen say about 2500 rpm max.

There are a lot of cuts needed - something like 50 or so. My Makita makes
as good a job of cutting ally tube as wood, and it would be nice to be
able to get the same result as easily with steel. Not forgetting the tube
is painted, so don't want to damage that through heat, etc.

I made my last one in under 2 minutes. What size spindle?

that does need to be addressed, don't overspeed them. 2500 does seem slow though.

The blades I've got are marked 18mm, so I assume the spindle is that.
Haven't yet dug it out from its hiding place.

Not sure what sizes of bore are common for a 210mm steel cutting blade,
though. Only ready made adaptor I've found is 30 to 18mm.
