Okay. So blade arrived. I mounted it and the shop vac, too.
Used a piece of 3/4'' x 3/4'' square tube. That blade melted through like butter.....
Did some 45 degree mitres and some 45 degree bevels. "same thing it went through.....
Came out bur free and cool to the touch. Great blade.
It is safe to say this is a great blade for tubing off any kind and shape.

I then moved to the heavy duty 1.5'' x 1.5'' , 1/8'' thick stanless steel angle.
Figured I moved start with a 45 degree mitre cut. it initially cut through, but the started getting real loud metal cutting sound ( which is not abnormal ) it did cut through. But I want this blade to last. That is some HD stuff. And that is where the lower geared and high torque chop saws run at 2500-3200 rpms.
The high rpm on mitre saw is ideal for the tubing and precision cuts.
