[QUOTE="mark, post: 1528246, member: 16354"] The metal cutting "Dry Cut" saws (the ones that use a toothed, carbide blade for cutting steel) are build heavier and turn slower. And a previously mentioned have little to no plastic parts. *I* would be very hesitant to use a toothed metal blade on a wood chop saw, even though it would be really nice to have the miter ability. I also would be VERY hesitant to be holding the piece of steel while I'm cutting it. Besides the hot metal fragments flying around, I've had the teeth catch the steel and rip it out of the vice. Also took a couple teeth off the blade.... wouldn't want my hands anywhere near that. If your talking an abrasive blade, it would probably work, but the saw would be short lived. Bottom line, there is a reason Metal Cutting, Abrasive and Wood saws have their own tools.... [/QUOTE]
