AI Rail Kit- Cutting the Aluminum

BeanMachine · Jun 29, 2016

Forgive my question, but what's the best way to cut an aluminum ai rail? I need to make it shorter.

Hand Saw from Home Depot?

hacksaw and grinder to smooth it out

cutoff /miter saw with carbide blade. eye protection mandatory. straight cuts and fast

Seriously.

regular blade will work but only for a few cuts before it gets dull. aluminum cuts similar to a good hard wood only really noisy

Hack saw. Then use a file to clean up any burrs

Nah I picked it up from some jerk in a parking lot, in the rain.

Bandsaw, hacksaw, chopsaw.

Chopsaw. Just go slow-ish. Aluminum cuts easily

that jerk probably gave it to you dirt cheap because it turns out he's actually a nice jerk. lmao
