[Caevlist] I need a little help cutting a large aluminum angle....

[Glenn Burket]

Hi Paul, 
It's your neighbor Glenn with the metal fabrication, repair, and design business(emphasis on the metal)that owes you for the numerous free items you have given me(emphasis on the free). I would be glad to do this for you. The trick to cutting AL on an abrasive chop saw, that I would use, is to continuously apply paraffin to the cutting edge. Otherwise the Al loads-up the blade and makes cutting very difficult. Please let me know if you would like me to do this.

I’ve got a piece of 3.5” equal angle that I need to cut, but my Milwaukee portable electric hacksaw throat opening is about 1/8” too small to manage it.

Does anyone have a saw of some configuration which has enough depth to cut this piece of aluminum?  It is 6061-T6 and it is 1/4” thick.  I’m thinking something like a stationary powered hacksaw, or possibly a 10” chop saw or table saw with a carbide blade.

Thanks,
Paul Wallace
