Should I purchase a Mini Bandsaw or can someone cut poly tubes better?

[Chazmanian]

I need to cut 6” length, 3”-diameter poly tubes.  I am currently using 3D printed jig and hacksaw.   The biggest issue for me is the cut needs to be perpendicular.  The hacksaw is loud and slow.  I am considering buying a mini 9” bandsaw.   Ryobi BS904G 9" BANDSAW https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RH1SOLW/ref...-FbWQ0234R

I don’t want to use woodshop equipment for cutting plastics.  Am I going about this the right way?

You could get a plastic cutting blade for the miter saw.

Thanks for this idea!  The plastic tubes I’m cutting are 6” (in half). It’s not nearly as thick as a pvc pipe, how would I go about safely cutting/holding the tubes? This is why I thought bandsaw would be ideal.  But I could understand how miter saw could produce more per hour.

I believe there are ways to set up clamping on the miter saw... If you are doing a bunch, I'd even make a simple jig - i.e. drill a stack of boards to the right diameter, slide the tube in to a stop and cut... remove cut bits and repeat...
