Hi John.
I have had pretty good results cutting aluminum on the band saw using a coarse toothed blade and a block of paraffin as a lubricant.
I have also used a Bosch 1587 scroll saw with a progressor bi-metal blade to cut aluminum plate up to 1-1/2” thick with no problem also just using paraffin as a lubricant on work pieces that were to big to take to the band saw.
The thinner stock should be no problem with either the band saw or a jigsaw, but the jigsaw blades are a lot cheaper and easier to change if the work piece is big enough to allow the cut to be made with a jigsaw.
