that blade is not for a table saw so esstentially your just using a radial arm saw or a miter saw as a chopsaw why do that when they have saws specifically made for metal called a chop saw.

I've been machining working with aluminum for five years now. Never once have i had a problem with an abrasive cutting wheel they work great. If ihad the money to spend the 460 to 540 bucks to buy a carbide tipped blade and dry cut saw i would but if your going to spend that kind of money on a saw you mind as well spend the 2000 and buy a nice wet saw which is the ultimate solution.
