It's a compound miter saw allowing me to make the most intricate cuts. The carbide blade is the finest (something like 130 teeth) I could get for the saw. If you cut slow it works great, it s very clean cut that dose not distort the tubing or hang up. I have used band saws and the blade can have a tendency to "walk" around the line that your are cutting making it difficult to mate 2 different pieces of tubing together for a good clean weld that only needs minimal porting on the inside. Abrasive chop saws intended for cutting steel tear up aluminum. You can't use abrasive on aluminum. Once upon a time I had access to some very expensive machinery at the Santa Fe Opera Production Shop (NM) as an intern, that I gained a great deal of experience with a staff of world class professional environment where I could work "out side of the box". It's not just what I had laying around, there are reasons for everything. I hope this helps.
