Good quick way to cut 1/8" stock iron?
Picked up a 1/8" x 2" x 3 foot flat stock for making a couple brackets, and was wondering what the "better" way of cutting it to length is.. I was planning on using my dremel with some cutting discs, but I think it may take more then its fair share of discs with it to complete the cut.. any good ways that are somewhat "cheap"? Any links to harbor freight or northern tool would be welcome too :-)
On a sidenote, I will be purchasing a bender from northern tool for bending it to spec.. sucky part is, they are out of stock currently :-(

hah, the bender wouldnt 'just' be for this, I've been needing one or an awful long time.. and gives me a reason to get a new tool
And yeah, I'll probably just get a quick cutoff tool for it
Edit:
I do love little projects.. gives you excuses to do things like this:

4.5" cut off wheel FTW!
Yea Mike....i've been unable to bend you up your stuff. All I found was 1/4" stock....too heavy for your use of it. I was going to run over to the steel yard through their remnants for your stock and bend it up and take a drive into stevenson on mon or tues.

Cutting wise, I was going to use my grinder originally.. but the last time I tried grinding anythign hard I found our 20 year old grinder really isnt up to the task.. needs some more amps and a stronger motor to keep spinning for the cut, flat stock would slow it down awful fast.
