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

The Dewalt blade you linked is okay but the construction-grade carbide is not fantastic. A better Dewalt blade is the one with carbide teeth that are bare and not painted over.

This is the Freud Diablo blade we use

Many cuts through aluminum and it still looks brand new.

We use a smaller one of similar type in a circular saw to cut aluminum plate.
