On the Other Hand

Maybe a hacksaw is better. I'm always checking and trying things. Had a tight space where the 1" wide dremel cutting wheel didn't really fit. So I used the metal cutting blade on a keyhole saw and quite easily finished the cut. So for the next tube, I tried the hacksaw, and went faster with less dust.

Caveat: I didn't check the blade before I started, but it was ruined when I was done. 3" of teeth were worn away. If this holds true, I'm going to prefer to go through 2-3 dremel wheels (15c each) rather than 1 hacksaw blade.
