Recently I got a little tablet laptop which led me down the path of eGPU’s, which led me down the path of aluminum extrusion which led me to looking for a mitre saw. Now that I have it and have been learning more about what it can do I’m super excited!
That looks like a mitre saw, but you mentioned you want to cut aluminum. Be careful, I believe mitre saws are for wood only and spin much faster than a chop saw which is designed for metal and spins slower.
Oh I didnt realize that about the speed. A lot of people recommended them while looking up cutting extrusion as long as you get a blade for it
I think you can get away with it for aluminum, but just be cautious and slow knowing its not the ideal tool. I’m sure it will work through since its such a soft metal. Just listen to the motor in case it protests your feed rate.
