[RE-wrenches] Cutting rail

[Ray]

We love our cordless Milwaukee Portaband.  We've cut Schedule 80 6" pipe 
with ours, just working around a bit at a time.  We got the 10 to 14 
variable tooth blade, cuts incredibly fast, but leaves a cleaner edge.

Once you use a Portaband cordless, you are never going to use a sawzall 
or circ. saw for cutting rails unless you have to.  Safety is vastly 
improved, and you can't argue safety.
