This may not be a great idea but it has occurred to me that my 14"

something like that or have any comments??

Compare blade speeds . If the wood blade will run at the speed of your
saw why not . I would not recommend running the wood blade faster then
its rated speed though . Luck

I have thought about that very thing, if the saw was anchored well it
would be better IMO. I don't want that wood blade binding in a log right
next to my hand. It happens all to much with a skil saw, but at least
the hand held saw has the blade under the cut and away from the operator.

other devices capable of cutting, sliceing, and maiming human flesh.
