Richard, I reckon the bandsaw wins, because it incorporates a vice to hold the metal while you attack it, you can more easily see how things are going, and you can if required apply coolant/lubrication. With a hand-guided circular saw, setting up a smallish (say 4x 2x2") lump of metal so you could cut it safely would be hard to arrange.

Hi all, has anyone any thought about which is the better tool for cutting
metal prior to turning etc - the 6x4 bandsaw or the circular type as
exemplified by the RAGE2 Pro 355mm Multi Purpose Cut Off Saw (230v)
...which can be seen on:

Thanks,
