My Harbor Freight DIN cutter was a bit more expensive ($60), but
requires less elbow grease. We use a metal chop saw.

Our rail cutter was only $5 from harbor-freight.
It's called a hacksaw.

I've found that aluminum rail tends to be much more forgiving.
Something
about the steel rail always gave me fitment issues. Perhaps the
Phoenix
Contact steel stuff I was using is just slightly over sized.
Aluminum
all the way now. Easier to cut and clean. And no, there's no way
in hell
I'd every spend $$ on a rail cutter for the one or two a month
that I do.
