aluminum and PVC and a low speed for metals other
than aluminum.

Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
f
To minimize splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood
or hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw
through this sandwich.

than sawing wood.

to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich.
