The best cut is using a metal cutting carbide blade. These blades
are a bit expensive ($50 type). Morse, DML, Tenryu are some prime
manufacturers. It will be well worth while if you do other metal
work. You can use the blade on a circular saw or worm drive that
you own, but they do make dedicated saws that catch all the chips,
etc. Works great cutting angle iron, plate, sheet metal, etc. In
a regular saw you will get lots of chips, but they are not hot -
wear goggles.
Abrasive blades will work, but can give a burred, burned type
edge. Plywood blade backwards is slow - plywood blade forward
works better for me.
