Default Table sawing aluminium bar.

I don't have a milling machine has anyone tried a TCT blade in a table
saw for this sort of thing?


I've used a proper table saw to cut aluminium - one with a 2' dia blade
and a good whack of momentum in it. An ordinary table saw might do it
but I think you'd be doing very shallow passes as the rake of the teeth
would probably be all wrong.
