5.4.2 Metal Cutting

• Use a metal-specific saw blade.
• For thin metals, clamp a piece of scrap wood on both sides of the workpiece to minimize vibration.
• Use a slower speed setting to prevent overheating the blade and workpiece.
• Apply cutting fluid or oil to the blade and workpiece for better performance and blade life.
