I use 80 or 100 tooth carbide blades to cut aluminum or brass. I cut brass on a bandsaw with ordinary woodworking blades.
Just don't use your metal blade to cut wood after.
Thanks!
Any carbide blade in the tablesaw will cut non-ferrous metals. I always use the one closest to being sent out to be sharpened and take it off the saw after.
Thanks!
