I was going to use the word best, but I imagine a large sheer or a plasma cutter, perhaps even the water jet method would be bestBut for my prototyping I have been using a jig saw with a blade, that was a horrible affairI got myself a pair of tin snips, they cut the very thin metal with ease but now I am using 16 gauge or 1/16th inch thickness aluminum and the snips don't make the cutRight now I am thinking that a circular carbide blade for my 7 1/4th circular saw with as many teeth as possible would be a good route but perhaps there is a better way, or this might be an acceptable methodAny advice, guidance or notification would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.
no but i wish i was.enjoy !!!
Think I'll give it a pass,I'll be on my way to work,can you do me a favour and sell my ticket for me and bring me home a programme
A carbide blade circular saw works well for cutting aluminumI have used one to cut 1/8 aluminum plateIf you are cutting bar stock, tubing or angle a miter saw with a carbide blade works very wellI have used that to cut 1/2 inch aluminum bars and 2 inch square tubing as well as thinner stockJust be sure to keep the blade lubricated with WD 40 or a light oil.
