If you manage to cut metal with a table saw, you are a much braver person than I am

Aluminum cuts just like wood on a table saw. I wouldn't recommend trying to cut hard metals.

With the right blade, I would think that is possible. When a piece of wood kicks back and hits me it leaves a bruise through the clothing I wear. If a piece of aluminum kicks back and hits me, I imagine it would be nearly fatal.

I've always just used a regular dull-ish wood blade... never died. Survivorship bias?

Iron and steel? Of course not, go get a cold saw for that. But it's no problem and very common to cut soft stuff like aluminum and copper on a table saw.
