I used my standard 14" import band saw to cut four 24" diameter disks
from 3/8" 6061-T6 plate for a friend's project. 25' or so of cut, buzzed
right though them. You have to watch for galling, once it starts things
go down hill very rapidly.

Any of you guys use one for cutting metal ... and admit to it?


I've used mine for aluminium (no issues) and brass (marginal). The worst stuff
I've tried to cut was cement bonded particle board. That is _very_ bad for the
blades. Frozen meat is simple, but needs cleanup afterwards.
