I recently inherited an old table saw that uses a thin (3/32") throat plate made from aluminum. I'm going to make a "low clearance" version. Now I've read that you can cut aluminum with carbide saw blades. Would you use a good blade to do that? Can I raise the blade into an aluminum throat plate blank just like you do to make a zero clearance insert? Should I try to use the saw to cut out the aluminum blanks?
Thanks! JeffB
