We use a cutoff saw, handheld, for cutting steel and threaded rod. We use an old 8" miter saw for cutting aluminum angle, 8020, pvc pipe, etc., and a 14" delta bandsaw for sheet aluminum, wood, and lexan.

we use a horizontal, it works great, and the problem with all-purpose blades is that the cut is extremely coarse for metal. we use the bandsaw mostly for cutting angle aluminum for brackets. we use a sawzall for everything else except wood, for that we have our school's woodshop. another thing is that you can't use abrasive cutters w/ aluminum, it gums up the disc, but it's fine for steel. then again, how much steel do you really work with when building a robot?
