I have used 6061 4" aluminum stock and it cuts stringy. I have a small bale of stringy alum chips about 3' in dia from the last 2 alum pulleys. I like cutting CRS better than HRS but i do use both as well. Its what i can find cheap at the time. Everyone does know that CRS started out as HRS just re rolled cold to give it more strength and make it smooth...Bob
