well hey.. cut offs every one has ? it works good .i talk to my land lord that build planes boat and road race cars about AN line all the time as well as other things .it just some thing i like to talk about with him .i will back out keep my mouth shut . if you want to spend money on tools you do not need good luck. been there done it. cut off wheels are 5.00 each? do not go dull . good luck i do not know how many engine you have built glenn ? i do not know how many i built but i do know i bore more then i build in a year so may be you built more ?

I don't have a cutoff... Speed shop other side of town uses chop saw with smooth blade... Tried dremel once and never again... Wide sharp chisel and bfh on a block of aluminum never had a stray wire like with the cutters. I haven't done for 20 years just a dozen or so cuts -8 Earls all good no problem putting ends on... Some people can screw anything up

learned from the Earl's guy... Watch the vid:

not saying it's the best way just what worked well for me

Roger on the video - I have a nice block of aluminum and am going to try this route. Seeing is believing! I've used the heavy bypass cutters from Klein tools for years - but this looks like a real improvement! Thanks for posting the video..

I think it was -6 in the vid... -8 takes a little more oomph. Picked up ~6" length of 2x6 at the scrap yard when I got the sheet for my air pan I think about $4
