Track Saw Tool Page - Use on Metals

@woodtechs - I was reading-up on the WIP Guided Circular Saw - Festool TS 55 REQ - WIP - Documents / Tools - Discourse – South London Makerspace page and came across this:

The saw may also be used for cutting aluminum when a Festool aluminum-cutting sawblade is installed

I was under the impression we prohibited cutting metal in the wood shop due to risk of sparks igniting saw dust? If I recall correctly, should we update the tool page to ensure that’s made clear?

Aluminium doesn’t spark

But, we don’t have the blade……… yet
