    Saw cutting Aluminium Bronze

    I'm having a big ass problem saw cutting Alumiuim Bronze. 8" Solid. Hydro-mech horizontal saw. I've tried course blades, fine blades, carbide tooth blades. All the variations of feeds and speeds.

    Jumping to Fusion---maybe

    Just wanted some general Fusion vs ______, whatever. I use Mastercam, Gibbs and Esprit right now. But for $500.00 a year, the effective price point is huge.
