DIY Heatsink Question

Anyone use or know if I can use aluminum channel as a heatsink for DIY LED lights? If so, how do you go about cutting it?

You should really spend some time looking around in here. There have been about a hundred builds documented in this forum that used aluminum channel..

Cut it with whatever you have around, even a wood saw works.
