Re: Tool Advice: Cutting Aluminum
I personally like sliding miter saws similar to the ones mentioned. As Cory said, you lose accuracy of the cut (although it was a cheaper Grizzly horz saw, we experienced some flex in the blade). We would just use our chop saw and would usually have a good enough cut to use the piece as is. Rarely had to square the ends. I don't have a specific saw to buy, but I would still recommend the chop saw over the horizontal bandsaw. Just make sure to purchase high quality blades too, for either option.
