Hello,
A friend of mine mentioned he used a bandsaw to make cuts on aluminum (i.e. non-straight cuts such as cutting a curve). I know they make dedicated metal-cutting bandsaws mainly for cutting metal stock to length, and I've heard of people doing a certain amount of metal cutting on either the table saw or on a router table (w/ carbide tipped blades or bits). Is it going to hurt anything if I were to use a general purpose blade to slowly and gently cut some curved parts out of some 1/2" thick x 3" wide aluminum flat stock?
Thanks,
Monte
