Re: How would you machine this?

Laxphan,

We regularly cut 1/8", 1/4", and 1/2" thick aluminum on our table saw here at work. It is, obviously, a little more heavy duty than your run-of-the-mill consumer table saw. But with the proper tooling and use, a table saw can certainly cut aluminum material.

I'm not saying that I'm the one doing the cutting, as I know that I am not experienced enough to work with the thicker materials. But, it can be done, and could actually provide the precision that is asked for in this application.
