Cutting aluminum extrusion
When securing aluminum extrusions,
use spacer blocks or pieces of scrap as
shown in the figure to prevent deforma-
tion of the aluminum. Use a cutting
lubricant when cutting the aluminum
extrusion to prevent build-up of the alu-
minum material on the blade.

ing to the guide fence using the holes in the guide fence.
