I have both a radial saw and a miter saw and am thinking about putting a cutoff disk for metal and possibly masonry on one or both of them. Use would be to cut things like 1/4" thick metal tubing on both and possibly thickish (e.g. 60 mils) sheet metal on the radial saw, although the latter seems a bit iffier.
I imagine it should be fine but to be sure I thought I'd confirm with you tools whizzes.
So, OK to use, assuming max rpm is compatible? Or might there be some subtleties like the motors would overheat, metal dust may damage things, vibrations issues, insufficient protection, or anything less obvious like that?
If OK, any advice about practical use of cutoff wheels in non-specific saws?
