Question:

working with aluminum angle?

I have a piece of aluminum angle, 1/8 thick x 1 ? x 1 ? (about 24 in long) I need the angle to be exactly 90 degrees; it’s probably 92 or 93 degrees now Is there any way to barely sand or alter one side at exactly 90 degrees, leaving me with an exact 90 degree piece? I have a small shop with basic woodworking tools.

Answer:

Aluminum has several advantages, it is lightweight and it conducts heat very wellAluminum surfaces are generally not reactive, however, acidic foods will react with aluminum and can leave traces of aluminum oxides in you foodAs to alzhimers, the link to aluminum has not been established and aluminum is the most common metal in the earth's crust, your tap water always contains some aluminum oxide.
You might want to take it to a sheet metal shop have them use their brake to tighten up the angle a littleThis would be about a 1 minute job for them they'll probably charge you about $5.00 (to go into their coffee fund) if anything.
So everyone dies horrible deaths from Alzhemiers.
lightweight, cheap, fast conductor of heat
