I use this 8" shear from Harbor Freight
(
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=90757). Works great if your material is under 8" in one
direction. It costs $125, but it's a lot easier than the methods I
tried before (jig saw, hack saw, mitre saw, power mitre saw, utility
knife, utility cutter (one of those Sears tools that will cut garden
hoses), and metal cutters/snips).
If you buy one, watch out for cutter alignment. Mine wasn't adjusted
correctly and I could have damaged it if I hadn't noticed...
