Hi mixedup, just use any tools that you would use with aluminium sheet.:- Hole saw, jigsaw, router, trimmer,(with correct cutters), high speed drills, file etc. Stick masking tape over the work area to prevent scratching.

ok thanks - I've got a jigsaw, so maybe I'll try this first on some offcut then (think I have a Aluminium blade for it if I recall in the set of blades I got)
Use some cutting compound to stop blades/teeth chocking up
maybe dumb question but, what brand/type do you recommend, and how do you apply it? is it just something you apply along the cut line before you start?
A fein saw would be the best tool to use, but buy the cheaper alternative on ebay or maybe bunnings, it's an oscillating saw like they use to remove plaster casts idea for aluminium sheet.

Hi mixedup.
Never a dumb question if you don't know, I use WD40 or similar will suffice.
Just need to keep a lubricant on the tool cutting edge or blade to stop the swarf from adhering to it.
