If you use a dropsaw with the standard cutoff blade use soap on the blade , just rub it on both sides the blade.
MS blades are not meant to cut soft material like Aluminium and can and will clog the pores on the blade this will overheat the blade and can cause the blade to shatter.
I have seen this happen too many times in the last 35 years in workshops.
