[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 172107, member: 55"] Nope on the lube. A cleanly cut edge is about the nicest thing to weld, lube would require me to clean further, which is no fun. Plus, aluminum chips stick to it like crazy. On a side note, I will NEVER use brake cleaner before welding. The phosgene, combining with Argon (think shielding gas in a MIG or TIG), coupled with heat (welding) will kill you, in as little as 4 PPM. See link at the bottom, and be sure to read the link within the link. Yes on the carbide blade. I've been using the blade shown in the saw for awhile, and it does fine, although a higher tooth count blade works much better (believe that one is a 35 tooth blade - I'll be running an 80 tooth Diablo after this weekend). I've been using an 80 tooth Avanti on the 12" chop saw, for extrusions, and really like it. I got a pair of those blades for a smoking price, too.
