newbie ?: what kind of machine to cut small aluminum pieces
What should I get to make straight 90 degree or 45 degree cuts of
aluminum tube, sheet, etc? My arm is tired of hacksawing and my cuts are never straight anyway. I tried a (wood) band saw before. The blade wandered off line too much. Worse then my hacksaw. Maybe it was a cheap bandsaw? What about these abrasive chop saws I see at home depot. I would think that those would just melt little aluminum pieces. I see metal cutting bandsaws, but it looks like they start at around $1000. any tips? thanks |
