[TheForge] Cutting Stainless

[Ray Miller]

I would think a cold saw would be your best bet. Depending on diameter 
of the cut. There are several cold saws out there under $800. The 
smaller bandsaws will have blade guide sloppiness and still require some 
cleanup. A nice ironworker would be cool, too, someday.
