Material: The blade should be made from a material that resists heat build-up and won't react with aluminum. Carbide-tipped blades are common choices as carbide stays sharp longer and can handle the heat generated during cutting.

Tooth Configuration: Blades with a higher tooth count (around 60-80 teeth for a 10-inch blade) are typically used for cutting aluminum. More teeth result in a smoother finish and less friction, which helps to reduce the risk of gumming or melting the soft aluminum.

Kerf Width: A thinner kerf (the width of the cut made by the blade) reduces the amount of material removed and the heat generated during cutting. This is beneficial when working with aluminum to minimize waste and distortion.

Coating: Some blades feature special coatings like titanium or Teflon to reduce friction further and prevent aluminum from sticking to the blade.

Raker Set Teeth: Some blades have a specific arrangement where every third tooth is set to a different height, known as a triple-chip grind (TCG). This design helps in shearing the metal rather than scraping it, reducing heat and improving the quality of the cut.

Blade Speed: It's important to operate the saw at the correct speed when cutting aluminum. Generally, a slower speed than what would be used for cutting wood is recommended to avoid overheating and to maintain control.
