Hi John

I use the band saw from time to time to cut alum. like the bench dogs below,,
I pop on a 1/4" USED blade because it will be well used when I get done and I also tag it when I get done with the job so I can use it the next time I need to cut some Alum., it will cut very well at the normal speed but be sure to run your Vac.system so the chips don't get stuck in the rubber drive tires..

=====

NOTE*** You may ask what's with the big holes in the bench dogs,,they are in place to hold the rope that I use to take chairs/tables apart for reglue.
