A reciprocating saw can be purchased for $30 at most any hardware stores. Combine it with a fine tooth blade and a vice and it will cut all the aluminum and steel you want-- safely.

A reciprocating saw is not going to cut straight at all, and is far more dangerous than a proper chop saw for metal.
We run a metal chop saw with a blade meant for aluminum and kids have made at least 1000 cuts this year quickly and safely.
