Well, I decided to name my creation HellHound, but heres the question, whats the best way to cut 0.04 aluminum? I can keep cutting it with a blade, but the blade gets dull FAST and the first few cuts really ruins the paint, so what ways do you guys use?I also have a hacksaw, but it kinda bends the metal a little

The "0.04" is in inches, right? You could use tin snips:

Have something similar to that a home (but mine can cut steel, BOOYAH), it makes really rough cuts and it bends the metal too, one side goes up, another goes down

nibblers.

My friend, you should invest in the one tool that every spudder needs: A Dremel.

Got one, but its hard to control it to cut it through the metal, it scratches up the metal a lot.

Just to satisfy my paranoia needs, if I have a 6 feet tube able to withstand 689 PSI, a 6 inch piece of that tube can also withstand 689 PSI, right?

Yup. Whether it be 6 feet, 6 inches, 6 miles or 6 mm, the pressure rating is the same.
