I have some door kick panels, some brass and a couple of Al ones. I
have used these before to make enclosures but in the past I always cut
them with a reciprocating saw then did a lot of filing to get the
edges straight and pretty. I was wondering if I could cut these using
my table saw. The motor is sealed so I don't have to worry about
getting metal shavings in it. Anyone here ever done this before. If so
what kind of blade did you use? Were there any special techniques you
applied?

It seems like this would save me a lot of finish work if I could do it.

I have cut hard aluminum using a table saw with a tungsten carbide blade.
You have to be careful to feed the work slowly to the saw if you want
smooth edges. SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES ARE A MUST!
