One thing to watch out for cutting aluminum on a table saw. I have a central dust collector connected to mine. Aluminum chips get hot. Guess what happens. Been there, done that.

I tell everyone that I'm not building an airplane, I'm looking for excuses to buy new tools!

That’s a question of perspective...

I tell my friends, and especially my wife, that I only have to buy new tools because I am building an airplane, which must be perfect, otherwise it won’t fly as it should :-)
