Cicular blade for aluminum
I'm seeing some conflicting information on the right blade to use for
cutting aluminum.....mayvbe you can help. I know carbide would be best but this is a small quantity of .050 (5052) aluminum that I need to cut on my table saw with a 10" blade, so I'd prefer just getting a steel blade for one time? use. However, I'm seeing conflicting info like..... **72 tooth with a wax stick is best. **Never use a wax stick because clogging is the last thing you want.......use WD40 instead. **I've seen "aluminum" cutting blades with as few as 72 teeth and as many as 150 teeth. (For example, Mcmaster carr's blade is 150 tooth). Anyone actually done this on a table saw and can reccomend EXACTLY what I need? THANKS. If I have to get carbide, I will (I like systimatic blades). |
