I'm seeing some conflicting information on the right blade to use for cutting aluminum.....mayvbe you can help.
I know carbide would be best but this is a small quantity of .050 (5052) aluminum that I need to cut on my table saw with a 10" blade, so I'd prefer just getting a steel blade for one time? use.
However, I'm seeing conflicting info like.....
**72 tooth with a wax stick is best.**Never use a wax stick because clogging is the last thing you want.......use WD40 instead.
**I've seen "aluminum" cutting blades with as few as 72 teeth and as many as 150 teeth. (For example, Mcmaster carr's blade is 150 tooth).Anyone actually done this on a table saw and can reccomend EXACTLY what I need?
THANKS.
If I have to get carbide, I will (I like systimatic blades).
