Aluminum cuts very much like wood. It should be no problem. Use a coarse
blade and lubricant if possible (that dry waxy kind).

Now 0.5" steel is a different story.

Under what, if any, conditions would it be reasonable to cut 0.5 inch
thick 6061 on a wood bandsaw? The cut I have to make is one that my h/v
junker can do, so I might go that way to put the wear on it vs. my Delta.
However, the Delta is safer for a cut like this, hence the question.

Thanks!
