Use the cut off disc, go slow, wrap with tape before and to protect the finish. Problem with the band saws is stainless can be hard on them as is cutting to thin a material. Rule of thumb is that the material being cut must be 1 1/2 teeth thick, otherwise it ripps the teeth and the material. It could make quite a mess of your pipes speaking from experience, we have 3 of these saws in our shop. Not saying it wont work or can't be done, I have the garbage blades to prove it can be done. Best bet would be go slow with a chop saw with a thin cut off disc, in my opinion.
