I cut up some 1/4 EHS into small pieces (for junk pile) just yesterday.
Used a 24" made in Taiwan bolt cutter. Piece of cake.

I agree with Steve Get yourself a smallish "angle grinder" electric ones
can be had for 30 bux or so. If you have a good sized air compressor the
air driven grinders are even better.
If you are only doing this a few times and you have no need for a grinder
(don't know how people get along without them tho) then a thin cut off wheel
for your skill saw will do the trick nicely. 73 bob de w9ge
