Hello everyone,
I'd like some advice... simple really. I always buy big bits of aluminium and then as I make parts on the cnc, I'll cut a bit off thats the appropriate size. I don't really have much in the way of power tools, so I've been doing this by hand with a hack saw. Sometimes I've been cutting 8mm aluminium and it can be very exhausting!
One of my more recent projects is going to require me to cut through a 20mm bit of alu.
I'm fed up with the hack saw, it takes a lot of time and energy, so I'd like to get some sort of power tool to do it. Not really sure what to get though. Thoughts? Circular saw? Jigsaw? I haven't seen any alu circular saw blades? Will I be able to get something out of B and Q that will be beefy enough for 20mm alu plate? Where to buy as well?
Thanks,
Dave.
