I'm thinking first cut, but open to ideas. Dreadnaught may be too
coarse since the parts are 85x16mm but could be a starter file.
Ideas?


Just in case it hasn't been mentioned and the poster does not already
know...

If you use real aluminum like from McMaster Carr, instead of using soft
aluminum like from Lowe's, it won't stick to your cutting tools.


What kind of aluminum would that be?
