--I've learned that it's possible for a blade to be *too* tight. You
might want to ease off and see if it gets any easier. Also for aluminum
cutting, particularly thicker stuff, use *very* high speeds; i.e. similar to
what you have on a woodcutting bandsaw, with a blade of at the most 5 teeth
per inch; 4 is better.
