    If i could figure out how to post videos i would show you the video i took of me cutting a copper/aluminum coil with my Stihl MS250. It cuts like butter. But i knicked the steel plate near the end of the cut cut and tore the blade up. I would recommend this method to any one. But be advised you better have a good saw and the bars/chains you use will be unable to cut through wood ever again. Also you better hold that thing like your life depends on it. Every time you cut through a tube you will feel the saw bounce just slightly, if it pinches the wrong way or you knick something more solid you better be ready for it.
