Hahahahahahhahah!
I hear ya brother. I get that kind of thing all of the time. One of the bigger wood component shops that is a customer called me in, madder than heck that the new super fine trim blade we had just sold them was all busted up. I showed up to take a look, and sure enough the carbide tips were trashed. Anyone could see that something other than wood had gone through that blade. They had begun to build these little teardrop trailers during the slow time, and the miter blade they used to cut the aluminum trim was about ten feet down the line from the wood trim miter.
The floor boss was facing me, and I was facing the cut line, when I asked him if it was possible someone had run a piece of aluminum through it. He literally said, 'Listen, our guys are well-trained to use that saw (pointing at the aluminum miter) for metal, and that saw (pointing at the wood trim miter) for wood" like how dare I even ask a question like that. Just as he finished the sentence a dude walks up and shoves about a .100" thick piece of aluminum in the wood miter and rams the saw blade down into the cut. I wish I could show you a video of that floor boss's face.
