[QUOTE="catmansteve, post: 272452, member: 8490"] An old wood blade will do the trick, preferable moderate tooth count (not aggressive crosscut but not fine finish/plywood either.) You'll be surprised how easy it cuts, I rip cut a chunk of 5/16" with a 24t blade on a skilsaw and it was like a hot knife through butter. I say an old blade because the aluminum sort of melts as your cutting it and will stick to the blade. DEFINITELY wear eye and ear protection, don't want aluminum dust in your eyes or your ears ringing for three days... This was learned the hard way :LOL2: [/QUOTE]
