Can anyone in Sydney help out?

Many thanks,

How thick is the wall material. How long is the aluminium stock. How many cuts do you need.

I have a pipe cutter for steel pipe but it won't work too well on thin wall tubing. Your best bet is a band saw. A new blade in one will cut quick, accurate and square. I have one of those too.

You are probably too far away.
