Aluminum work?
Carbide cutters like the one directly above (I prefer smaller diameter long cutters with round ends) and sanding attachments ONLY.
I always dip my carbide cutters in a little cup of 3-in-1 oil every 3 or 4 minutes as well. It keeps the soft aluminum from loading up in the bit, and cutting is much more clean and effective.

firebuick, those bits are not cheap, I have several of those but with a 1/4" shank, and if memory serves me correctly they ran about $75.00 each. I think they were Cobalt.

"941 Aluminum Oxide Grinding Stone
A high-quality industrial abrasive made for extended general-purpose grinding on metals, castings, welded joints, rivets and rust. "
There is no warning about explosions or not using on aluminum. The instruction manual for the XPR specifically states many possibilies of harm if not followed properly with no mention of the aluminum oxide bit being bad on aluminum. In fact it recommends the best speed for the 941 bit in aluminum specifiically is a 4.
This myth of exploding bits has been busted on Page 12 of the Dremel XPR owners manual downloadable on their site. Please follow proper use, operation and safety procedures whenever using tools like this.

The links I've posted in this topic are easy to find.
Anyone that has every had safety training to use metalworking tools has been clearly told not to grind non-ferrous metals on grinding stones made for steel. As I stated above, this is common safety practice in millions of shops, schools, and industries across the world.
For those of you who didn't know this, that'* why we have a Forum. Take this advice to heart, and share it when it'* appropriate.

That'* fortunate for you, Bandit.
Because you won't find an experienced machinist or welder that will EVER use the wrong stone for the wrong material.
I've clearly posted the reasons for it. If you want to ignore it, that'* everyone'* own choice.

So your saying that the Maker of the product is wrong?
even though it states right on the website?
