Would this cut 1/8" Aluminium?

No can't do. Although aluminum is soft, if you force it, it will just end up damaging either your blade or your motor.

Probably not. Thickest we cut was 12 gauge aluminum. 1/8" thick is 8 gauge. May cut a few feet but would probably jam and burn up if you had a lot to do.

It will, but may not leave the cleanest cut. I would not recommend this saw for 'finish' work like that. I use this for rough edges like installing electrical outlets where the rough edges are covered by a finish plate.

Yes, I have cut through multiple aluminum sheets that are pretty thick. But you may want to get better bits than what comes with the kit.

I would definitely not use it on steel. It may cut light aluminium sheet, but I would check with the manufacturer first.

I work on aircraft and it's able to cut 24 gauge aluminum with no problem. Copper i think is softer... So it should work.

This saw is more suited for 1/4 in to 3/8in. It would work but it would suck up battery life and tax the saw. From Dave T

I would think it would work fine. Actually just used mine today to fabricate a wall hanger out of brass plate, 1/16. Mowed right through it. Very pleased with the tool, aluminum should be no problem.

Yes. I have used this saw will cut 1.00" material. Use common sense though. Use a fence, go slow, and try to keep the cuts short. My cuts were 8" long, and I let the saw sit for a little bit to cool. If you are cutting A36 plate, you shouldn't have any issue. If you are cutting A572-50 or A514, I would probably opt for other methods.

Yes. Unless it's aluminum foil, I'd recommend a Dremel tool. If you're trying to score a piece of aluminum, this would work (briefly) but you'd be better off with a utility knife/box cutter.

No, It won't cut anything thicker than 1/16". I have cut plastic and fabric with mine.

It might be able to. The "grid" you see on the product image is basically 1" increments to guide you in cutting down to the desired size. So, it SHOULD work. but I have never tried it. I'll give an 85-90% probably yes. Hope that helps.

Probably would, but it would be slow going requiring a lot of strength. Its a good knife but I don't think its that good. I would try a small saw.

my husband said yes it would but to take your time and if it starts heating up to stop and let it cool off then finish. he has cut 1/4 inch with no problem or heating up.

It cuts very easily. It is very soft aluminum. We used an oscillating tool but a hacksaw would work well too.

yes with no problem.... you would need to use a straight cut bit, 1/4" or maybe even a little smaller 1/8" just take it easy and it would work fine.. you can do some amazing things with this tool.... you ought to see some of the artwork I have done with it.....

I used a 6-in hole saw on Delrin, and I had no trouble. I would expect that you would be able to drill aluminum with no difficulty.

Yes, but it is not as good on wood as a dedicated wood blade. I primarily cut aluminum with an occasional bit of wood cutting so this blade is best for me.
