That's just plain amazing! You wouldn't believe how much of that stuff
I've cut with my TS and BS without any noticeable effect on the blades.

Of course, we might need to take into account that on the TS I cut with
an Olson 10x100 carbide-tipped blade ($50 from Menards).

The carbide is the key here.

If you cut with a regular steel saw, yes, you'll run into problems
almost right away.

Use carbide, and the blade lasts forever.
