    I've cut aluminum on the job with a regular carbide blade on a miter saw

    I used plasma cutters, saw zaw and grinders with waffer disc that cut but were slow, crooked and sloppy. I prefer wood tools for long or many cuts( table, miter, or skill saw) I tried a 10 inch non ferrous blade($80) and was good not great. My best was a 3 pack of dewalt 7 1/4 skill saw blades from lowes used on table saw for sheet alum 1/4 thick. Use common sense and protection
