    couple of questions

    i was wandering what does everyone get for this type of aluminum:



    http://c.shld.net/rpx/i/s/i/spin/ima...arpen=1&qlt=85

    is this extrusion? i have 11 caps, and 13 6 1/2 foot long square aluminum tube posts



    i was wandering what the 5th line on the tape measure is its before the 1 inch mark yeah i know im stupid lol thats how thick it is and around they are 2 inch on each side i think its extrusion but not sure according to my scale it says 6.8 to 7lbs for one is that about right? if so i got about 90 some lbs give or take. i was wandering about copper tube cutters can i just get one and will it cover all the sizes? i asked the ac/heater guy he said i can get a decent one for 15 to 20 dollars is this true? what brand should i get? i think its gotta be easier then using a hacksaw to get the soldered parts off with less waste cause i get dust from the hacksaw and some of that thick crap is hard to cut through like say the copper tube from a water softner resin tank cause sometimes i have to use the hacksaw when the pipe wrench does not work.

    what about red brass if i have some copper pipe inside from where i cut it off will that downgrade the red to yellow?
