Hi John,,, you should not have any problems with that aluminum, on the band saw,, we do it all the time,, along with brass, plastic, copper, steel, wood,,, about anything except fingers,,,,
In choosing your blade,, a rule of thumb is to make sure your tooth count is such that there will be at least 3 teeth in contact with the material at once. If you go with a more aggressive blade then that,, ( Less tooth count ) you will most likely jam the blade and start knocking off teeth, thus ruining the blade, and your nerves
Some times Aluminum gets kind of gummy,,,and if it does,, use some kerosene as a coolent or lubricant. But at a 1/4 inch, you should have no problems with that.
