    I’ve seen evidence that the fastest way to cut down aluminum pipes is a circular saw. Sawzaws and portable band saws gum up the blades and slow down the cut. Not related, just thought you should know.

      I found a good deal on large diameter pipe cutters, and I like that they are very silent and surprisingly quick to use so I don’t disturb my neighbors when I am doing large scale plumbing in my basement.

      Well, yes circular saw would be good and way more compact than a sawz all, but you’ll still want a metal blade. The default for any saw will probably be for wood, or maybe a wood and nail blade. That’ll take a year and a half to cut through one, and then be ruined.
