Does anyone have a good technique for making an opening in an aluminum tube to mount a focuser? I can't think of an easy way to make a clean smooth cut.

I'd take it to a machine shop. They'll make a clean job of it and it will be worth what they'll charge. I've had small jobs like that done at machine shops before and the amount they charged was quite reasonable.
