I needed to cut several thicknesses of 6061 aluminum for a project- some was 3/8" thick plate (4.25" wide) while the other was a 1.5" thick bar. I was looking at buying a $200 low RPM 14" dry saw to do it and then read some reviews on this one. My saw is an older Delta miter saw that spins around 5400 RPM. I made a test cut on a 1x2 piece of scrap wood and it cut perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised to see the thicker 1.5" bar cut fast, smooth, and cool- it was barely warm. Ditto the 3/8 plate. The photo I attached shows the bar with a prior cut via an abrasive blade- which wore out before it finished, so the remainder (crooked) was cut using a sawzall. The straight edge was cut using this blade as was the larger 3/8 plate under it.
I'd recommend this blade for cutting aluminum. It's a great alternative to dropping $200+ on another saw.
I have .125 Aluminum diamond plate to cut tried my jig saw took for ever kept braking blades
Tried the Tomax on my table saw with dry lube cut 90” long strips like butter still razor sharp after 35 cuts
