How?

First of all I dont want to spend a ton of money on industrial strength machines.

I need to do a few things like cut through metal Theodred mounted for a conversion and cut thick models like rangers in half.

You will need a vice as well.

I like the one UK Freddie made. A pair of vice grips would also work. A table mounted vice would be much better.

I was looking for an inexpensive vice as an example I found this one I ordered for myself. http://www.micromark.com/gentle-jaws-3- ... ,7557.html

Jewellers saw as noted above, takes a bit of time getting the nack but cuts through metal quicker and cleaner than anything else I've tried.
