Hello all,

I am using 2 inch square Al tubing (0.125 thickness) as part of a frame
for an experimental fixture. Part of me wants to flycut it to remove
some dings, and part of me wants to leave well enough alone. Knowing
that I can always start over if the tubes (11 in long each) were to warp
like mad, I might just try it.

What is your best guess? Would knocking the skin off of the tubing
cause it to warp or twist a lot? Is there something else you would do
to make a presentable finish? It is not terribly important. I can
probably get to a sandblaster, though it is not as accessible as in the
good old days. Something I can do in the comfort of my garage gets
extra points.

Thanks,

Bill

Try it. Or not. It's your choice.

How in the hell would you expect anyone to be able to give you a good
answer, without knowing the depth of cut necessary and the finish that
you want?
