Mark,

In this context, is "heal" a typo for "heel", or something specific to
cutting aluminium?

(serious question, no sarcasm intended)

You are correct, it was a typo (can't believe I didn't catch that before
sending). i.e, the pushblock (they recommend a 2 x 4) has a heel that
catches on the back end of the sacrificial hardboard to push the
hardboard/aluminum piece through the blade.
