You can cut wood with a metal blade but if your going to make a fine cut or exact cut the blade will warp going through the wood and you can never cut a exact line. Also too if your doing finish work metal blades will tend to burn the end of your work.

You can cut metal with a wood blade though but turing the blade around in your circular saw. When cutting metal roofing it works just as good as a metal blade and is a good use for a old dull wood blade

Youve failed to tell us what kind of blade or saw you are asking about... it DOES matter.

Most wood cutting blades have fewer teeth and larger 'hook' angles than metal cutting blades, to allow for faster stock removal. In some saws, if you use a blade designed to cut metal on wood, you could actually burn the wood, and/or cause the blade to heat up enough to lose its temper.

If youve only got one piece of wood to cut, most metal blades will do alright, if you let the blade set the speed of the cut... do not force it. If youve got several pieces to cut, then get the appropriate blade. There are differences in wood cutting blades too, depending on what type of wood and cut, you are actually making.

Have Fun

I sure doubt it. The metal cutting blade is a lot tougher than a wood cutting blade, usually heat tempered due to the high temps generated while cutting metal. The opposite is what would cause you a problem. Doubt many wood cutting blades would cut metal due to the setting of the teeth and the construction of the blade.

Cut away. You won't do any damage.

You can use it but it will be slow and is inclined to burn the cut, it will not harm the blade, if it's going to be used for a fair amount of wood, it's not a good idea, and it would not suitable for thick or hardwood. So get a wood cutting blade they are not expensive, and you will get a better result.

in case you have been to look very close at a grinder wheel you could see sharp jagged rocks glued mutually. On some wheels even diamonds. the sides of those rocks decrease the metallic off. timber being mushy will replenish the holes between the rocks which in turn won't enable the rocks to get a good bit into something that they touch. So, confident that's going to grind timber yet after on an identical time as very almost cease reducing. They use diamonds or better annoying metallic 'dressing wheels' to eliminate the stuff that has gotten between the outer layer of rocks. It additionally provides a clean right now floor to the grinding wheel. wish that helps. (do no longer use it for timber.)
