Someone advised me years ago to install the blade so it rotates backwards when cutting flimsy material so it won’t grab as easily. I tried that on some window screen channel and had no problems using a fine toothed blade for aluminum.

Thanks for the comments everyone!
I'll give it a whirl tonight on the MS. It is already set up with a negative hook blade.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I tried a few different blades on the aluminum last night on the MS and TS. The cutting sure worked a lot better with blades with a more negative hook angle.
Blades that have ATB teeth also worked much better than those with a raker tooth when cutting the thinner aluminum bottles. When the aluminum was a little thicker, the tooth type didn't appear to make any difference.
Thanks again.
