If you have a mitre saw just get a 10" cut off blade.

True. I was thinking the clamp on the steel saws would come in handy while I'm trying to cut 45s. Is there not a lot of pull on the steel when doing 45s? I'll be able to hang onto it ok?

Not sure but I suspect it would be the same as cutting wood. Could always use a c clamp on the fence.

Just think of steel like it's Ironwood. Then your wood smrts will kick in.
