Table Saws and aluminum

[Bob Zimmer]

I've found a local distributor who will sell a 4'x4' sheet of 1/8"
aluminum, mill finish, for about $125.

What I'm wondering is, in order to cut this into small panels, can some
kind of special blade be put into a table saw to cut it down?

I asked at the local Sears store in the hardware department and they only
had two options, one a 7 1/4" blade for a power saw and the other a 14"
blade for a cutoff saw.  My table saw takes a 10" blade!  The 7 1/4" one
had a note on it that it is NOT for use in table saws!

I could probably do it with a power saw (have to buy one first!), but it
would require careful measurements and straping down guides!  It would also
be hard to cut 2" pieces!


Any ideas???
