Ive dry fitted my copper picnic cooler manifold, and I am now faced with the task of making lots and lots of slots. Ive given the hacksaw a go, but man that is a PITA.
I have lots of power tools available to me, including a reciprocating saw, a jig saw and a table saw, but no dremmel or band saw. Any thoughts on the best tool for the job here?
My concern with using the recip or jig was whether all of bouncing around they do would cause issues with accuracy. I can imagine the pipe coming out of the clamp all the time and shooting around, although at this point I suspect this may be better than the hacksaw, which causes me to frequently want to throw it across the room.
