Re: Wrecked Aluminium from chopsaw
A vertical band saw with a blade made for metal or a horizontal band saw with a blade made for metal probably work better than the chop saw. Imo, it's very dangerous to be cutting a piece of aluminum that large on the chop saw, and I'm hoping you guys clamped it at first. I think it COULD be done with the chop saw, but I would look into getting a horizontal band saw. Those things are amazing for metal. (Of course, milling it is preferred, but good mills can use up $$ quickly)
