I want to put some grooves across a thick aluminium bar ( groove about

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

Cuts ok IME, the more teeth the better obviously. Probably best to do
12mm in stages to be on the safe side
It will cut but the bottom of the groove will not be flat as most saw
blade are ground with alternate top bevel (ATB) use a saw doctor to
modify a blade to TFG - flat top ground.

Beware the chips will come off hot DAMHIKT
