Which grade of Aluminum?
#1
I am looking to make a zero clearance insert for my ancient (1950's vintage) table saw.  It's .090 thick aluminum, so nothing available to just buy will fit.

There are, however, plenty of places to buy Al sheet.  I've found a vendor that has both 5052 H32 and 6061 available in the required thickness.  The 5052 is slightly cheaper, but in reality, it is only a couple of bucks.

So, which is better, or does it not make any difference?
Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts
