Works fine in both the table saw and the miter box. BUT it is extremely
noisy (wear muffs), throws chips (wear safety goggoles or full safety
glasses with eye shields), and likes to grab (clamp the stock to the
miter gage) A fine tooth (40 teeth and up) carbide wood blade works ok,
better is a special "non ferris" blade with zero hook angle (keeps it
from grabbing)

Hi to all,

Someone at the metalshop where i was buying a few aluminum flat bar tell
me that aluminum (series 6000) could easily be cut using a table saw if
the blade is made of carbide teeth.

Does someone has the experience of doing this and what about the results
and safety of it ?
