Actually, I do have a portable bandsawm a beautiful Harbor Freight, but for the limited number of cuts [5] I didn't feel it worth dragging out of my vehicle.
As for the sawzall, the problem is the blade is supported only at one end. If you turn it on, you will notice the tip flops around in a pie shape. OK for reducing 8' pieces to fit in a 6' dumpster but little else.
No since you guys have invested so much time on this, I will reward you with this true story--
I had a race with a guy named Christo. Not a deliberate race but we happened to each start to wire two parallel rows of eight drop in lights at the same time. I was just starting my number seven as he was finighing his number eight.
So I'm slow.
But wait.
All of my MC cables were not only connected but also SUPPORTED. His were not supported. Furthermore, he did not leave enough slack for his cables to be supported [batwings on safety wires].
