Re: Wrecked Aluminium from chopsaw
No matter how careful you are if students are hand holding the aluminum you will find a typical chop saw will eventually grab the aluminum and do something scary with it. Maybe it will fling it across the shop, maybe mangle it, maybe just scare the pants off a student or maybe cause serious injury.
When we were using a chop saw for aluminum we'd have something scary happen about once a year. Thankfully no one ever got hurt but it sure got my attention. And the noise, oh the noise.
If you insist on using a chop saw to cut aluminum, please figure out a way of clamping it so students aren't hand holding it.
