Hi Mike, The rack struts on a Mark's rack are made from solid aluminium. The cutting tool shown in your link is intended for tubular stock, and mostly copper at that. A hack saw will work much more effectively to cut the length. From there, if you're anywhere near as anal as I am, you can file the end of the cut to a nicely rounded cap and gently sand and then polish for a very professional looking strut. In fact, it will look like a factory finish with just a few minutes work and is well worth the effort on my opinion. The hack saw and file will remain useful tools for you after this job is finished. Jon.
