Copper gutters?
AL?
Wood?
PVC?
If AL and if you use a circ saw, get a plywood blade and put it in backwards, use eye and ear protection.
I use plain old tin snips and sometimes a jigsaw with metal blade.

k cool thanks. ya it is aluminum...
I use a Dewalt 12" miter saw with a non-ferrous blade to cut alum and cu gutter. Set a jig up and you can make perfect miters. Wear hearing and eye protection.

Best way I can answer that is I charge an average price for an average house.
There's no such thing to me as average.
I get about $9.50/ft for 6" alum ogee for straight runs. More if it's cut up. Downspouts are less. That's .032 with hidden hangers 24" OC. I'm a little more expensive than most, but we end up fixing a lot of work by others that doesn't funtion properly.
Copper for the same configuration is about $29/ft for 16 oz. 20 oz is more.
