10Sure I can do a curved cut with a chop saw.
@parker be warned my niggy you can lose a hand or fingers faster than you know what happened with a chop saw. i almost lost a thumb cutting a too-small piece of aluminum (long time ago)
there is a safe way to use a chop saw and that doesn't involve twisting or moving the work at all to cut anything resembling a curve

@parker that doesn't appear to be clamped too securely. i'd wear a face shield and keep my hands away in case it goes bang
@meowski Yeah that was as far as the clamp would go, and for some reason the band saw is gone which would make this a lot easier, or I could stop being lazy and drag out the table saw again
@parker for cutting sharp angles like that, what i do is make a jig with a scap of wood like a 2x4, (cut by hand with a circular saw or bandsaw) that has a notch at the back, and holds the work at the right angle. this way on the table saw you can use the fence and cut the desired angle
