You can get 'Triple Chip' carbide blades that are marked as suitable for aluminum and they give an excellent cut with a small amount of lubricant.
I don't think it is safe to try using a Radial Arm saw for cutting aluminum with one of these blades but you may be able to fit a 10" one in the chop saw.
Make sure the barstock is well secured so the blade cannot lift it. I normally rig up a simple fixture out of plywood so that both sides of the cut are held down; build-up a plywood block with a rectangular hole the stock can slide through and bolt this to the saw table. Then just cut a slot in it with the blade to cut the bar.
An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.
