cutting end slots in aluminum tubing
Just received my order of telescoping aluminum tubing rods from Texas
Towers. Sizes range from 1" OD to smaller and all 6 feet long. I plan on
using them as a collapsible verticle on the motor home. Before I start
hack-sawing away on the ends to cut slots around which I will place my hose
clamps, does anyone here have any particular tips or techniques to do
this? I figure I'd just cut two slots with a hacksaw about 1" or so deep.
If there's a better suggestion, I'd like to hear it before wacking away on
my expensive tubes.
