[QUOTE="KP81, post: 1528477, member: 16020"] with an abrasive blade go for it. I have an old all metal Makita I use for steel with an abrasive blade its fine. I don't know I would use a plastic saw because of the heat its going to put off. If you are talking a carbide blade for steel you can not use a wood chop saw it turns way to fast and you are either going to get hurt, ruin your saw/blade or hurt someone else it shouldn't even be an option. I use a regular wood saw at work everyday for cutting aluminum, but that is a whole different story there due the lower tensile strength if aluminum and we use a blade that has a high number of teeth with a blade designed for aluminum.
