Using Circular saw blades on Miter Saw

[Frank S]

There is a trap for young (or inexperienced players) here....
Mitre saw blades and RAS blades should have about 5 deg NEGATIVE hook angle. Positive hook will lift work dangerously on both saws. Negative hook pushes work down and against fence. Rip blades can be used on RAS when turned for ripping, but work holdown MUST be in place as violent lifting will occur.

Table saw combo blades, frequently Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) typically 15 deg hook - cuts clean, pulls work down to table.
Table saw Rip Blades may have square top teeth with deep gullet and 20 deg hook - cuts well in direction of grain, clears large amount of sawdust, pulls wood down.
Table saw Triple Chip blades - more teeth ATB and Triple chip teeth, typically 10 deg hook - cut veneer, melamine, laminates and composites with little chipping.
Don't hurt yourself for an $80 blade.....please...

Back when I had both a radial arm saw and a table saw I kept the spare blades for each in a cabinet next to the saw. On of my workers grabbed a blade for the RAS and put it on the table saw the result was the piece he was cutting a grove in bounced up and was ruined no body hurt just the work piece tossed around
My 12" miter saw has a carbide tipped blade probably 5 years old now still cuts like a charm but I don't use it often
