I have had great success, using a good Milwaukee saw, with a carbide blade on Aluminum plate. The trick is to lay the metal on wet grass and then set the blade to slightly cut into it. Cools, lubricates, and deadens the noise. Make sure the elec grounds are working!!! Awesome!
Now I have dead grass because of the drought. :shaking:
I cut a 4" x 4" x 8' 6061-t6 lengthwise on my Shopsmith table saw. It was a PITA to keep spraying it with WD40. I could slow the blade way down which was perfect. Home Depot Carbide tipped meatl cutting blade with several teeth. Noise was horrific for about 20 minutes.
