using metal cutting blade in table saw

[woodsman1031]

Hello,

Thank you for letting me join your forum!

Home depot sells 10" metal cutting blades for a chopsaw with the same size mandrel as my table saw. Can I use this blade in my table saw as long as I dont exceed the RPM's reccomended for the metal cutting blade?

I will be cutting some 1" crs round bar.


Thanks

I have used one on my old 10" table saw in the past, and it worked OK for me.

Thanks John!

Did it cut fairly clean?


Thanks again!

re very useful for some things and in some cases can be used in place of a mill....For instance, I cut the slide grooves in a 1911 frame I made using a table saw and metal cutting blade.......A word of warning though.

I have an old table saw that I just use for things like that. I wouldn't even think of putting a metal blade in my good saw because the dust gets in the bearings and will wear the bearings just like it wears the metal on what your cutting.
