My first post was FOr the small size of stock, the mitre saw that moves about 2" would be great. It should cut a 6by8. I like those better as the stock can be calmped in. To: <towertalk@contesting.co

My Delta compound miter saw has clamping capabilities.. I use it frequently for cutting aluminum stock. Works well. Uses a carbide tipped steel blade. Not an abrasive cut off. Aluminum will indeed cl
