ALUMINUM: how to cut thick stuff...

31 Oct.,2023

 

Great comments, as expected.

I am not completely confident in operating a circular saw on a round (or square, for that matter) thick piece of aluminum. There is too much that can go wrong in my opinion. The large, 2.5 inch thick, solid aluminum rod is very dense and certainly going to try to run on me.

Band saw sounds like the right choice, for me. Any suggestions on one? I'll be cutting a lot of it so I don't want anything from Harbor Freight, if you know what I mean.

I picked some steel up today and they were using this beastly band saw I couldn't even hear at 40 feet away. I was stunned how quiet and effective it was, and they were running it dry. They were cutting some massive pieces of steel like nothing.

No one using a grinding wheel anymore--too much noise, too many fumes, too much mess and very sloppy.

Band Saw. Please provide some reasonable direction folks...

Thanks again~
