[QUOTE="BrazosDon, post: 318853, member: 7752"] Hopefully this will help some of you guys with cutting aluminum up to 1/4 inch. I installed aluminum patio covers and carports once upon a time and I used a plywood circular blade from HomeDepot on our table saw and skill saw. It was lubricated with a waxy lubricant that came in a cardboard tube like a grease gun cartridge. We got the lubricant from the Skill service center but any hard ware or lumber yard store should carry the lubricant. It is a bees wax and paraffin base and commonly used when cutting wood. Straight paraffin will work also and is available from most grocery stores. Before you make the cut in the aluminum you carefully run the lubricant into the teeth of the running blade. Refresh every 30 to 40 inches or as needed. Here is a link where you can find it: https://www.nolansupply.com/bysubcategory.asp?category=Fluids+and+Lubes&supercategory=Castrol+Stick+Wax+Lubricant&subcategory=Castrol+Stick+Wax+-+Metal+Working+Lubricant&type=False&specs=False [/QUOTE]
