I want to start cutting sheet aluminum...
I need to start cutting aluminum plate (1/2" or less) and some angle.
The material will be 6061-T6 mostly and I'll be cutting it on a bandsaw. What blade should I use on this material and what should be SFPM be? It's a Grizzly 1HP band saw for wood. I'm guessing that I need to slow the blade down but by how much? The blade is a puzzle too. What style of blade, what tooth type and how many TPI? Thanks so much, I searched GOOGLE and didn't come up with anything. Phil |
