Commercially, we use a triple chip blade. The current blade is almost 10
years old and leaves a mirror finish on the aluminum cut.

You can get fine-kerf angle-grinder blades, that's what I use.
They need frequent replacement, but for the occasional cut, it
beats a hacksaw.

I just realized I worked 37 hrs of overtime in the last 2 weeks. I
think I am going to treat myself to one of the triple chip blades.

Hey OM
If a twin blade 6.25 inch blade cuts like a 14 inch blade what's a
triple blade cut like?

And can you shave your face with that mirror?
That would make one heck of a disco ceiling mirror ball.

Twin blade is lifetime gaurantee.

It is a single blade- and the triple chip refers to the rake of individual
teeth. I think every aluminum house uses a triple chip blade. Not cheap at
$150 or so- but as I said, one of our blades is around 10 years old, is used
daily and still cuts with a mirror finish.

For those still interested I found that Delta makes a non ferrous
blade that sells for about $25 USD.

Very interested. What size blade, and how does it cut aluminum?

Blade is 10 inch, fits my chop saw , radial arm and table saw.
Ive used it to cut Al tubing and some square bar stock and it seemed
to do a good job.
I tried it on some Al sheet metal and it did pretty awful. I think
this has something to do with the alloy more than the blade. I have
always had trouble doing anything with this piece of stock. It binds
up drill bits in a second.
