I cut out my Scorpion's (last car) aluminium from 1.6mm checkerplate with a wood blade in a jigsaw. The project was to make a false-floor in the boot. Pics available on request. Take it slow and it does the job just fine. A LOT of aluminium splinters though.
My latest project (a 3mm thick checkerplated bashplate) I also did with the same tools, except it just took a bit more time to do. I know what 10mm aluminium is like, so I'd suggest using maybe a high-tensile hacksaw blade? Or like others have suggested - get it done at a laser-cutting place.
