Cutting 2" Bar stock

admin

I need to cut 2x2 solid hot rolled barstock into 6 inch pieces. Ive got a chop saw but wondering if a bandsaw would be better. After I cut them, I need to cut one end down (taking 3/8" off both sides 2'' up) and I dont have a mill. Ive checked with local machine shops but it's not cost effective. I though about making the second cut with a band saw also.I guess Im toying with the idea of buying a band saw to get this project going till I can afford a mill. I was looking at an inexspensive one that goes vertical or horizantal. My other idea was to buy a xy table and use my drill press to mill. I know the correct way to do this would prob. be to have them milled, or wait till I can afford a good band saw, but money is an issue and I really need to get this project started.  Any input or ideas would be greatly appreciated..
Reply:There are a couple problems using a DP as a mill.1) the bearings are not designed for a side load.2) It probably has a JT taper mounting the chuck.  These are also not designed for a side load.  The chuck may come off during a cut.
Reply:If you're close enough, bring them by, and we can carve them out in the #2 B&S fairly quick.I don't really think doing it on a band saw will be time effective, say nothing about accuracy.Appreciation Gains You Recognition-
Reply:Franz, Im in the Niagara Falls area, if Im not mistaken arent you near Rochester ? Also whats your opinion on the bandsaw vs chop saw for the cutting of the stock into 6 inch pieces ?
Reply:Well, depends on how accurate you want to be.  The band saw will give you as close  to 90 degree cut as you can get, where as the chop saw curves outwards a little bit.  For most of my projects, I can get away with this, but sometimes I wish I had a band saw quite badly.  Some day I will.
