And there are medium sized saws wich can be mouted
on top of a table. I think this will be good. Do these things
have blades for metal (Fe,Al?).
Any experiences?

I use to use those metal "grinding" type blades.  They work OK, but leave
you with a great deal of filing.  For light gauge steel and Aluminum though
I have started using a carbide tip blade that is really designed for wood.
It rather "nibbles" the metal away.  So, it leaves lots of little pieces.
And, of course, face/eye shield and proper protective clothing are a must.
I find I like that better than the "grinding" type blades for light duty.
But, they both have their place.
