Unless you are talking about the side view of the links?

I know what you mean about your chop saw and pieces getting caught between the jaws. Yes a band saw would help speed the process.
Here is a picture of what I was trying to describe. These holes are for the nut that holds the grouser plates.
With that nice machining center and 4th rotary axis it would be a breeze to mill those two pockets.
