Do you have a recommendation that you have found works well for cutting aluminum?

I'd have to triple-check to be sure, but I believe it was this blade:

We like it so far, cutting 8020 with it primarily.
I have cut stainless, aluminum, steel, and titanium with the blade that came on the saw with no issues at all, leaving a nice surface finish and few or no burrs.
To those continuing to use high-RPM chop saws that are nominally designed for wood: please carefully consider the safety risks being taken to save about $420 bucks (<cost of 5 Talons).
