Default Cutting Sheet -- Was I asking the wrong question?

Ned Simmons fired this volley in
:

A table saw.


I see that, and raise. A table saw with a good carbide blade will cut
everything up to 1" aluminum plate without difficulty. I rough-cut 6061
plate all the time on mine.

It's unpleasant work, though. Wear long sleeves (buttoned up), heavy
eye protection (full mask), and be prepared to earn lots of tiny
blisters from hot chips. (don't wear gloves around rotating equipment)
