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.
