On the machine calibration, that is the exact reason we are looking for a new one. We purchased one last year that was a wood working saw with a bi-metal blade but the cut completely sucked. Looking into it, the speed were way off so now we are trying to find the right one for cutting aluminum

What's wrong with the cut? Perhaps it just needs adjustment. Also, if it is a belt drive it would be easy to slow down.

We use a cutoff saw, handheld, for cutting steel and threaded rod. We use an old 8" miter saw for cutting aluminum angle, 8020, pvc pipe, etc., and a 14" delta bandsaw for sheet aluminum, wood, and lexan.
