Les, what I was referring to was the metal cutting saws with a carbide blade. If you use the abrasive blades 3800 rpm is good.

I found out recently a Hardee board blade cuts AL real nice. It only has about a dozen teeth on a 12" blade and it has cut depth control so wont grab.

The carbide blades for AL have a reverse rake to the teeth to eliminate digging in and grabbing. However, I have used regular wood cutting carbide blades, just like you. You just need to be aware of the grabbing tendencies. Using metal cap and cove for laminate tops is almost a thing of the past, but a carbide blade makes cleaner and better cuts for the joints, as long as you can keep the blade from grabbing and ruining the trim.

I'm a little late, but we have a Milwaukee that's at least 10 years old. Cuts like a dream.
