Can a diamond blade cut aluminum stock?

Joe,
As someone who cuts large amounts of aluminum extrusions, angles, rounds,
etc, on a mostly daily basis, I strongly suggest you invest in a miter
saw, and a *nonferrous metal* carbide tipped blade. There _is_ a
difference between a carbide blade for wood, and a nonferrous metal
blade. The grade of carbide, for one, and the amount of support for the
tooth for a second. The miter saw will most likely come with a carbide
blade for wood, which you can use for wood working projects. Buy a
quality nonferrous metal blade for aluminum.
A carbide tooth flying off the blade at speed is not something you want
to be in the immediate area of, especially dead in line with the blade.
