My go-to saw for aluminum box tubing is a Dewalt 12" with a Fteud Diablo 80T blade.
Interesting. Having read the post about the Rage2, I was interested to try it. Thanks for the post. We are using a 12" 80 tooth, carbide blade. I'm not sure if its Lenox or this Dewalt (12", 80 teeth, carbide, $30);

Found this blade at Home Depot. Is this the one? (12", 60 teeth, carbide, $108)
