Can aluminum be cut with an abrasive blade cutoff saw? - Keganhirl - 02-14-2022
You can, but it is messy. I use a Sawzall with a metal cutting blade. Too fine a tooth will plug and melt instead of cut and too coarse will grab and chatter, so use a medium tooth and vary the speed to fit the thickness of the aluminum. The aluminum will clog the abrasive blade, so once you use it for aluminum, do not use it for metal.
