We did that last year because our leader wouldn't listen to me when I told him we needed a carbon tipped blade. He figured that a black woven blade cost 10 bux and cut steel, a hard metal so aluminum would be a cakewalk. We were too poor to even buy a 80 dollar(CDN) blade (we only had 2 robot batteries for peets sake!). Even after I gave him an long explanation about carcinogenic gas and using the grind wheel example we still used it. We had the world's smelliest and messiest cuts. The area that was cut turned to slag hahaha. We eventually bummed a carbon blade from a members father. The workshop was very smelly and hazy after the woven steel blade cuts.
