    I use Steel Demon blades (a little cheaper), they're teflon coated and go through steel like a hot knife in butter. I've cut 1/4" plate like it was nothing. They make a blade for aluminum too.

    I need to see if they make a 14" one for my chop saw. I'm guessing there is less deflection with a metal blade vs the cutting wheel design.
