What method is most economical for cutting aluminum?
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 best. But for my prototyping I have been using a jig saw with a blade, that was a horrible affair. I 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 cut. Right 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 method. Any advice, guidance or notification would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
A carbide blade circular saw works well for cutting aluminum. I have used one to cut 1/8 aluminum plate. If you are cutting bar stock, tubing or angle a miter saw with a carbide blade works very well. I have used that to cut 1/2 inch aluminum bars and 2 inch square tubing as well as thinner stock. Just be sure to keep the blade lubricated with WD 40 or a light oil.
