I bought an unused Rockler router table fence at a garage sale for $6! That
is the small gloat.

I will be using it on a table I am making for my table saw wing. That will
require cutting the 36" fence down to 27". This is the small problem.

I have some dubious carbide table saw blades I picked up for almost nothing
at other garage sales. If I stick one in my table saw, will it cut the
Rockler aluminum extrusion without damaging me, the extrusion, or the saw?
(I don't care about the blades...) Sure, I can use my sawzall, but it will
look like I used my sawzall.



The various BORG sell 'cheapie' (as in under $10) blades expressly designed
for cutting soft metals like AL. I'd go that way. I've used those blades,
and they do OK, particularly if you go at it 'nice and easy'.
