How do you cut aluminum tubing?

I got some aluminum tubing from spectre performance to fix a problem with my air filter and need to cut it to be an inch long (its 4 inches), will a hacksaw work for this?

Re: How do you cut aluminum tubing?

If this is 4" diameter then you might be able to make two pipe cutter rings around it one inch apart. Then cut it with a saw. It's gonna be rough. A lathe would be better , a pipe cutter would be ok too. If it's small tubing that is only 4" long then a tubing cutter will work.
