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!

Piece of cake.
This is 10mm brass, not aluminium, but you get the idea:

No detectable wear on the blade afterwards. Cuts easier than 1" hardwood.
