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? -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

you might also be able to bring it to 14th street hardware in Pekin, and Im sure they can cut it for yah, just dont know how much it will be. They have everything and sell all types of metals/steals and Im sure they have the right equipment to cut threw it.
just an idea! -------------------- "One of the most Crazy and Undecisive Members in central Illinois"
