Default Bandsaw Question

I have acquired a small tabletop bandsaw , and was wondering if it might be
suitable for cutting metal - with a proper blade . I calculate the blade
speed to be around 2700 ft per minute , and there is no way to slow it any
as it drives straight off the motor shaft .
Probable uses would be bar stock 1" or less , and sheet metal 1/8" thick
(~3 mm) or less .
