I have an 8" one I use with abrasive disks to saw sheetmetal. Like you
said there isn't much in there, and on mine the motor is well out of
the way of the sparks.


I cut small sheet metal with the chop saw, but I have made 19" relay
rack panels out of 3/16" aluminum on a table saw when I couldn't find
the size I needed. I even cut the notches on the table saw, then used a
rat tail file to finish the ends of the notches. You definitely need to
clamp the metal properly to cut those notches so the panel doesn't get
loose.
