proper angle grinder disk for aluminum ?

[haryv]

Use the traditional cutting disk "stone impregnated in fiberglass?" disk for cutting steel stock, I find its slow for aluminum. Is there a better disk for cutting aluminum stock? I am cutting 3/16 inch thick aluminum.

I just read up its a tungsten blade the same used to cut wood.

Carbide blade on a circular saw works great on aluminum.

I go to the skill saw or sawzall for aluminum. It clogs up abrasive blades too much.

I also learned long ago, to get a saw for the proper metal thickness, there must be at least two teeth of the blade resting on the metal cross section at anyone time.

I will be probebly shopping for a angle grinder cut off saw for aluminum.

I find surfboard wax on a small tooth wood cutting blade works well....their is also blades available that are designed for aluminium to fit angle grinders.
