I must cut some extruded aluminum box tube--what blade for a "chop" saw?
I need to cut some extruded aluminum rectangular tubing with a 0.093" thick wall. To keep the ends very square I want to use my 12" chop saw. What blade should I use?
Someone told me using an abrasive blade on aluminum will slightly melt the edges causing a very bad burr. Would a carbide tipped blade work? How many teeth would you recommend?
The Aluminum cutting blade in the web link is 6.5" with 36 teeth. This comes to 1.8 teeth per inch, so I will try a 68 to 72 tooth 12" blade tonight. I will also try an abrasive blade specified for metal. I'll report back tomorrow.
There are aluminum cutting carbide tipped blades, such as
