Even the old Marvel had a system that took the pressure of the blade on the return stroke . It didn't look like it did much but it just lifted a little.
Try Lenox blades in a high tension frame and some wax stick lubricant. I can cut through a 1" mild steel rod in 8 strokes with that combo (witnessed and certified to be true!) and you should see it go through aluminum bar stock. I use 18 tooth blades for most things, finer for thin stock.
