If the blade has hardened points - many Stanley's do say that -
It might work ok for some time.

They make it like that for imported 'rose' wood - that is full of
silicon that eats normal blades alive.

What bad things will happen if I use this Stanley hand miter saw:

http://www.stanleytools.com/default....U MBER=20-800

to cut aluminum angle stock of the kind sold at Home Depot? Will it ruin
the blade immediately, work fairly well, or what?

Is it possible to get a similar miter box for cutting metal?


You don't need a new box, you need a hacksaw blade for the box.

Thought of that. The blade size for this box does not match standard
hacksaw blades. Is a bigger (longer and wider) hacksaw blade made?
