we just acquired a PILE of 1" to 3" aluminum plate drops from a local manufacturer. What we really need is a selection of project pieces in the 1"x 1" to 3" x 3" range. No particular sizes, just stuff than can stay on the shelf, get cut to length and tossed in the mill as required.
Thought was to rip them using a Skill 77 worm drive. Anyone got some recommendations for the perfect blade or other thoughts on how to get them cut down?
OTOH: my local aluminum supplier has this nice 12"x10 FOOT cutoff saw but I doubt they would be interested in running it on our stuff. Oh well
