Depending on the size of the piece to cut, the best thing I have found is the little horizontal/vertical bandsaw from Harbor Freight. About $175. I also have a chop saw that has not been out of the closet since I got the bandsaw.

It works great for cutting off long stuck even up to 1" thick. Just takes awhile. But it's quiet. If you need more speed for big stuff, use the torch. I just can't recommend a chop saw ever over the bandsaw. I have the cheap saw but some moderately priced Starrett blades for it that make a big difference.
