Re: Safer Saws
I should mention that I find it completely acceptable to cut aluminum with a carbide tipped wood blade. Sometimes a little WD40 helps a lot too. I do this all the time in miter and circular saws without any issue, so long as you go slow and wear proper safety gear. I've even cut aluminum box (and solid) with a 24 tooth blade, although something like an 80 tooth would be preferred.
