Cutting aluminum bar in quantity.
I'm looking at a project where I need aluminum bar 3/8" x 7/8". I can't seem to source that size--the closest I can get is 3/8" x 1". The bar will be cut into various lengths not exceeding 12" long. Cutting to length is no issue as I've got an Evolution chop saw, it's the long cuts from 1" to 7/8" that are the problem.
I don't have a mill. Maybe a bandsaw set vertically? I'm not sure how that would turn out as I need the cuts straight and square. I'm going to need to make several hundred of these pieces. In a perfect world I'd just be able to source 7/8" material instead, but here we are.
Any ideas are appreciated!
