Woodworking bandsaws should cut aluminum if properly adjusted. When I
have to cut some in a client' companys shop I set the blade guides
close and sand them square if worn. A sharp blade helps but isn't
always available, usually the only one they have is dull from cutting
fiberglass circuit boards. Sometimes it's easier to cut straight if I
twist the work slightly so it rides on the back of the blade on one
side.
