Isn't it for wood? Or is that what you are looking to cut?

Wood cutting speeds work great for aluminum. The saw looks ok, just depends what you're looking to do with it.

like already said, its most likley for wood use.
thats fine so long as you just change the blade.

the blade speed might be kinda high for hard steels, but that can always be modified if your willing to put time into redesigning the way the thing works. you can do it with adding an adjustable power source or regulator.....

bottom line is ask yourself how often your gonna use it. if your gonna try and make money off it, dont get it. if your just some dude who wants to cut crap for a project here and there, id totally go for it.
