Should I use my TS75 and CT to cut aluminum soffits?

[Kevin D.]

Thanks for all the replies guys, but I do want to know something that I may not have been aware about.  Am I supposed to spray my aluminum Festool blade with WD-40 for cutting the aluminum soffit panels?  Or is that more for thicker extruded types of aluminum cuts one needs to do that?

It will not hurt to give it a shot i using a carbide tipped blade but probably not neccessary for such thin material.  If you use the backward plywood blade method then yes, lube.

I've always used this Milwaukee product when using either the chop saw or the bandsaw. It's probably similar to what Hans @TSO recommends.
