Re: Wrecked Aluminium from chopsaw

I've always been slightly apprehensive about cutting aluminum on chop saws for the very reason pictured in this thread.

Horizontal chop saws are my first go to machine for cutting raw extrusion/rods, but after Build Blitz I'd also recommend this setup for those with space limitations: portable band saw (such as Dewalt DWM120) + aftermarket stand.
