Meh, I have cut pretty much the gamut, from .020" sheet stock, through 2 inch plus thick aluminum bar, using basic wood bandsaw blades. Starrett's bulk band says right on the box that they stuff is rated for wood and non-ferrous metals. It's nice to have a bit of plywood or hardwood to slide in under the thinner material if the support under the blade is wallered out. Run a fairly high surface speed, akin to what you would cutting wood.
Beat all hells outta standing there like dead weight, leaning on the stock to get a fine toothed blade to cut!
I would advise not doing this on a saw expected to be used for any finer woodworking, as the chips are pretty much everywhere inside the saw after not too much use.
