Default cutting end slots in aluminum tubing

hi

I dremel will work nice but you may want to build a small
jig to keep things aligned.

I would drill a small dia. hole at the bottom of the
place where your cut will end so it will prevent the
slot from continuing on and splitting the tubing.

good luck

tom

I've used a small table saw with a finish (Trim) cutting blade. Wear
eye protection!
