I always cut aluminum with a 4” carbide tipped wood blade (from McMaster-Carr) in a right angle pneumatic grinder. It cuts thru even aluminum plate like it’s butter and doesn’t load up like a grinding wheel. It’s surprisingly controllable as long as you rest your hand on the panel, the only problem is if you hit steel while cutting.

Also for years (about 45 now) I’ve had an Aloe Vera plant near my shop and nothing I’ve found works better for burns. You cut the edges off a leaf, split it in half and put the soft inside against the burn and the pain is reduced significantly & immediately. I highly recommend it for any body shop or business where burns can happen . ~ John Buchtenkirch

Thanks to everyone for the kind words I am all healed now with some nice new skin and ready to roll ,
Thanks fir the tip john my neighbour has a plant and it works well , we actually have the carbide disk at work but it's a 5 inch and wouldn't fit where I needed it to ..... I must admit it cuts like butter but scares me.
