heatsink

I've got this huge heatsink I've got left over from building my F5 amp.

Just wondering if it's possible to nicely cut this in half. I'd use the sides for a gainclone amp.

If you are good with a hacksaw and have lots of stamina !!
Otherwise take it to a (metal) machine shop and ask them to slice it up for you.

carbide is harder then aluminum. You can cut it on a table saw. Start with the blade close to the table and make multiple passes raising the blade a little each time.

I used a compound miter saw to cut heatsinks and almost any aluminum Just use a high count teeth blade thats specific for cutting non ferrous metals like 100T

Thanks. I might just sell the heatsink and my lm3886 chips.
