I need to repeatly cut a bunch of 2" wide 1/8" aluminum plate in identical lengths. My original plan was to use my 14" cutoff saw. Unfortunately, I just found out an abrasive saw just melts the alumium, doesn't really cut through it.

I could use my jigsaw, but it's not that accurate. I've cut a 10" chopsaw also. I did a little searching and some people are using fine alternate tooth wood blade, but that doesn't seem too safe.

So any ideas out there?
