John sorry didn't have an answer for you trying the same thing. I was recomended the 3/4" blade for my grizzly just a plain beast. Was told that a 1/2" blade was sufficent and found that it is has some more give then the stiffened 3/4" blade.

Not a problem, I got my direction from the members and now for me to test and see what works on my saw. I think this proves we are ok individually but "GREAT when we put our heads together.

This is why we all belong to the forum, to help each other.

Thanks for all the advice and opinions. I will let all know how I make out. Gotta get me a blade,.... Oh good grief.. not another trip to the toy store.

Have a great day and thanks!

I thought I would bring this thread back and show the finished piece of aluminum my son and I finished for our project.

The start size was 48"x4". We needed a finish product of 22"x31/4".

We had no problem using a 3/8"x6 tpi blade. It had to be taken slow and easy but did accomplish it.

The only problem I found was trying to rip the 22", it did want to wander a bit. This did cause some extra filing at the end.

Would I do it again, NO, the clean up of the saw and surrounding area did not make it worth while. The next time I will have it cut for me.

Thanks for all the advice, it did keep us safe and get the job done.

Thanks
John
