I have a nice piece of 1/8" thick 5052 aluminum plate I would like to use for my dash. I tried cutting it with my jigsaw
When I do a longish run I use paper masking tape along the cut and paint some oil on the tape. I have no problem with quality jigsaw blades rather than cheap ones and for long straight cuts I use a circular saw with whatever wood blade is on it at the time.

Let me rephrase that for you; I have run into problems trying to save money and buying cheap blades rather than more expensive ones.

Anyway, I got a whole bunch of new old stock blades made in USA. These old name brand blades cut way batter than anything made in china.
No, again you buy cheap crap and pay the price. The blades I buy in China are fantastic, I don't buy the cheap crap here, it's useless, so I don't know why you guys do .... but you keep doing it.
You guys need to do some more honest self appraisel of yourselves rather than blaming other countries for what are your choices, no one forces you to buy cheap crap.
