Always wear eye safety shields when grinding ANYTHING, I have had waaay to much taken out of my eyes over the years, no fun and it is not free.... Plus it will screw up any painted surfaces in a flash... or GLASS keep ALL those things well covered when doing any grinding...

Any time you want to grind or cut Alum, use plain old wax, both to the cutters or grinding disks or wheels first, then every now and then when it stops cutting fast, just touch it to the wax bar, no stick and Alum, cuts like steel, no cloging of anything, I also keep wax at the drill press...

That good ole machining wax is also great for drilling and tapping/ thread cutting, siezed bolts and nuts as well! Its great at the hydraulic press to get things out......you gotta watch it putting stuff in cause it might try to come sqirting out on ya! Ha!
