Re: Tool Advice: Cutting Aluminum

Either the Jet or Grizzly cold saws should do fine. Mine is a Grizzly, but the 10 in. version, floor mounted, 220 v. single phase.

I think either would work fine (they may both be made in the same factory). What counts is the blade. At 9 in. you should do fine, and this one is bench mounted, though you can find a nice metal stand for it if you want to have it stand alone in your shop.

My bandsaw blades come from my local saw sharpening shop. They are specifically made for cutting metal, though I run them at slow speed on my home-made 14 bandsaw. They cut aluminum fine, but my saw runs too fast to cut steel. If I try, it eats up the blades. I have a slower speed option on my bandsaw, but rarely use it since I have to reconfigure the belts. Look for a local saw shop to make up your bandsaw blades (they cut from stock, weld and anneal the joint to any length you want).
