I don't think it will be quite that bad, but it will wear the teeth out
after a while and the wood blades will be more prone to chipping. Go
slow and don't let it overheat too much. I find the solid wax lube
helps and if you have a vacuum you will want to use it, The fine chips
will spread over the whole shop :-) Almost as bad as cutting MDF :-)

might expect my chop saw blade to throw some teeth my way after a cut or
two?
