[PAR_WIG1350]

We have a small horizontal/vertical band saw from harbor freight as our primary cutting tool for aluminum, and pretty much anything else that can be clamped into it. It was a bit slow when we used it to cut through a 1" anodized aluminum shaft, but that was probably one of the toughest cuts it will ever have to make. We have had troubles with alignment in the past, most notably one indecent in which the blade became bent down the middle [like this--> ( ](not entirely sure how we managed that one) and it started cutting in rather pronounced curves instead of the fairly straight cuts it normally makes.
