We love our cordless Milwaukee Portaband.  We've cut Schedule 80 6" pipe with ours, just working around a bit at a time.  We got the 10 to 14 variable tooth blade, cuts incredibly fast, but leaves a cleaner edge.

Once you use a Portaband cordless, you are never going to use a sawzall or circ. saw for cutting rails unless you have to.  Safety is vastly improved, and you can't argue safety.

Just like the other gents mentioned...but I would add...get the saw blade with 10 teeth per inch....will not clog up with the soft aluminum.   You will love the saw for cutting conduit too.  All done relatively quietly without all the jarring.

    Any suggestions for cutting rail with a Sawzall?  Many times at
    the end
    of a run of PVs there could be 5-6" of rail (in this case DPW P8).  I
    like to use a circular saw but sometimes I don't have enough
    clearance
    once the rail and panels are installed.  The sawzall works but I'm
    looking for a blade that doesn't load up with aluminum too fast
    and cuts
    without too much vibration.  Other ideas?

    Thanks,
