Circular saw blade for cutting aluminum?
As suggested long ago, a carbide tipped saw blade cuts neatly through
aluminum. But the ~40 teeth stock blade on my miter saw throws aluminum
chips everywhere. I've tried some modifications to catch the aluminum
chips but none work very well. As mentioned, I tried using a DeWalt
cutoff wheel but apparently that doesn't work for cutting aluminum.
Will a finer tooth (more teeth) carbide tipped blade tend to throw the
chips backwards the way they're supposed to go?
Other options for neatly cutting aluminum with a 10 inch miter saw?
Thanks.
