Virtually any woodworking tools can be employed on aluminum. A table saw is great for slicing up sheets, and even a Skillsaw does fine. A miter saw can cut small stock to length. As with wood, carbide blades will have a longer life. A coolant/lubricant will also help. WD-40 or ATF work well. The old timers love kerosene mixed with lard oil for aluminum. I've found nothing better than Tap Magic for aluminum.
