i use oil on aluminum,and cut it with wood cutting blades,but on steel you would be creating a fire hazard.this is also where a dust collector would be a problem-the stream of sparks coming off that blade carry a huge amount of heat that most dust collectors are not designed to handle.

i'm assuming that by metal cutting blade he's referring to a carborundum grinder-type blade.the carbide tipped metal cutting blades are very dangerous at the speed woodcutting equipment turns at.

Thanks for filling me in

True, but you learn the lesson so much better that way. *glances at his scars*

Here's to painful lessons. May they never be forgotten! (especially the ones involving women)

yup,it was probably me......unless it was one of those other guys with a red streched ford packing metal on the roof

one of my few excursions off the rock.i wasn't gone long,though.

Like who the hell else could it be...........!

You would be more likely to miss a purple Yugo with a stripper pole attached to the hood and a 48DD blonde swinging around it............

So I'm trying to start forming some ideas in my head for the future....do you prefer your horizontal bandsaw or a chop saw?

bandsaw.....no challenge on that.

bigger ones are nice,but i love my little 4x6 cutoff.once you get working with them it's amazing how versatile they are.plus,there's no sparks being shot everywhere and they are quiet.

i've owned a few chopsaws,i doubt i'll bother ever owning another.the one i had in mission before i moves up here was a nice one with a cast iron miter bed.i gave it away and brought my bandsaw up with me.
