Quote:That's what I'm going to do. Cut below the clamp line, using a pipe cutter. Gives a fast clean cut. Over a sink of course

I considered using a pipe cutter also, but decided against it because I was concerned that the pipe cutter would bend the soft aluminum. I have noticed this effect when using the pipe cutter to cut copper pipe, although in that situation it would not be a problem.
