    how thick is the blade in your saw? That'll make a difference as well, little thicker eats materials faster but it's more rigid. I have a band saw and chop saw and I use the chop saw for about 90% of my fab, so much faster.

    You may know this but make sure that your blade is a dedicated SS blade with no other materials. Especially friction saws, they catch materials and can embed it into other materials defeating the purpose of stainless.

        Stainless is a PITA in my experience. So that there is probably one part of it.

        You also want to securely clamp the workpiece into the chop saw. Hand-holding it isn't a recipe for precise cuts, particularly with slow cuts.

        NitroRustler is right on with his McMaster recommendations. They generally sell high quality stuff, which consequently is usually the "right stuff."
