Very interested. What size blade, and how does it cut aluminum?

Pete

Blade is 10 inch, fits my chop saw , radial arm and table saw.
Ive used it to cut Al tubing and some square bar stock and it seemed
to do a good job.
I tried it on some Al sheet metal and it did pretty awful. I think
this has something to do with the alloy more than the blade. I have
always had trouble doing anything with this piece of stock. It binds
up drill bits in a second.
