Ohhh .... A little birdy has told me I am getting one of those for my Birthday later this month

I have a bandsaw & it works a treat.

That said, I cut all of my angles with the humble hacksaw, being a silly old fool I just couldn't be assed to keep altering the cut angle on the bandsaw & found it just as quick to do it by hand.

Depends on what tools you have available or the level of investment you want to put into new tools.
Seems a real pitty to buy expensive tool for a one off job.

Get your build table sorted & cut the steel as you go, that way you will not find cutting the steel by hand such a chore.

Just imagine how pleased you will be with yourself once you are done building the chassis
