I used the edge of my table saw.the chassis is actually pretty straight.
I used the table saw to score it also.
Drilling was a lot more work than bending it.

Re: Folding my own chassis
Bending your own is way fun! Welding small ga. aluminum is a BITCH. so easy to burn, and welding the inside edges are usually too difficult, so I just weld a fat bead on the outside that kind of "burns in" the edge, and dress it with a file.

Re: Folding my own chassis
