Cutting Conduit
5 Possible way to cut conduit
1. Hacksaw by hand
2. Metal Chop Saw
3. Metal Bandsaw (handheld)
4. Metal Bandsaw (stationary)
5. Angle Grinder with Cut off Wheel

For accuracy, Metal Chop Saw and Metal Bandsaw (stationary) will have the best accuracy
Accuracy with the other 3 devices will be dependent on the user\u2019s skill level<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key point of cutting the conduit is to get it cut
I chose the Metal Chop Saw because I could clamp the conduit in the guide and cut accurately
I also cut a few pieces with a Metal Bandsaw (handheld) for comparison<\/p>\n\n\n\n
