Depends on what I can find on Monday but hopefully - yes 
Sure we have a power saw but haven't got a lathe

Re: Any engineers on here
Just had a thought - we have a stand drill, as long as I can clamp it vertically this would do the job wouldn't it

Yes if you have vice on the the drill stand, or an angle bracket you can clamp to.

Not very well. It is very hard to be accurate especially when you want to put 200mm bar sticking up out of the vice. Much better ans easier in a lathe.
What are the holes for and are they going in one or both ends?
What are the bars for as well while I am being nosey?
