Can you guys give me some advice on cutting spring steel for saws.

Currently I'm using a cut off wheel. Thick angle iron as a guide/heat sink. Going lightly to keep it from getting too hot. After a couple passes the plate will snap off.

Not bad but I'm looking for a better way, no sparks lol.

What kind of shear can you guys recommend without spending 700 bucks on a beverly. I want to make straight cuts without the waste side curling or getting any distortion with the cut.

For example, I see bench mounted shears and some are throatless.
