Hey there everyone.
My bandsaw recently started to malfunction... I used to use it to cut copper rod stock (7/8" diameter) but then it got caught on it and... well, not it doesn't cut straight (the blade shakes back and forth).
So what's the best way to go about rapidly and cleanly cutting copper rod stock? Preferably, something that doesn't involve expensive equipment, because I don't have much money...
I have a dremel, but the battery always craps out on me (really, really old) and it doesn't want to cut through copper rod stock very quickly or cleanly anyway. I could hacksaw it to death but that would take forever....
Any ideas?
