Chop saw with fairly straight table and such?

I have next to no experience with metal cutting chop saws, other than to say, get one with teeth instead of an abrasive one.
don't know if the common manufacturers have them, but makita and dewalt are the two brands of other saws most of the carpenters I know have been using, and they seem to be satisfied with them.

I'm cutting Drawn On Mandrel A531 Type 5 steel (tube). While other stuff is Cold Rolled Electric Weld steel, A531, and I also have a considerable amount of ChroMoly 4130 I want cut straight

I've heard good things about Bosch, Dewalt, etc to. So, I'll consider something there, but also need a model number because Dewalt (and, yes. Even Bosch) has had reports of a faulty model or two recently.

But, not to worry! I've discovered a possibly acceptable means involving a proper handheld hacksaw and guide that might work.

I use a hacksaw with a miter box, for cutting certain things I need to be cut as square as possible. you might also consider a Portaband^tm with a miter saw bench accessory (never actually used one except freehand, but I know they make them)

I literally just use one of these, and for what I'm cutting, it is sufficient.


but what I cut with it is barely an inch in the largest dimension. the slots in the box are slightly thinner than the kerf of the hacksaw, so they do wear out. but it's cheap, and, like I said, adequate for what I cut.
