: I just make a blank one out of aluminum and raise my carbide tip blade

Most people don't think of cutting metals with their table saw, but carbide cuts aluminum (a semimetal anyway) just fine. Cut slowly so the carbide doesn't get too hot--the aluminum will start to gall and you'll never get it off.
