Any of you guys use one for cutting metal ... and admit to it?



As I am sure none of my colleagues at work read this group...

(second and third thumbnails from the top)

Standard (skip-tooth, IIRC) wood-cutting blade which, incidentally, seemed
to cut better after cutting the brass, due to the brass removing gum and
resin build-up.

Aluminium I cut routinely - absolutely trouble-free.
Brass (this job) was a one-off, but I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
