Other options for neatly cutting aluminum with a 10 inch miter saw?

Thanks.


The most important tools for circular saw cutting of aluminum a

1) Head-to-knee body cover including long sleeves banded shut at the
wrists,
2) Full-wrap eye protection,
3) Hearing protection,
4) a full head/neck wrap with a billed cap over that.

For preventing "throwing chips everywhere", prayer and standing to one
side of the cut line (which you should do anyway) help the most.

That's exactly my experience (Ryobi BT10- woodworkers will sneer- and
80T blade). Makes a horrible mess and a hell of a racket no matter
what you do. Don't leave any electronics with ventilation slots
anywhere nearby...
