These are for aluminum, copper, brass, etc and I have a 60-tooth/10 inch one for my table saw. If you put a little lubricating oil on the cut line before sawing, the resulting cut surface is so smooth it is almost like a mirror, no burrs and no filing necessary. I have also used it in my radial arm saw and of course a sliding miter saw should work too.
