Don't know...
I use a standard wood cutting blade to saw insulated panels which are 4-6 inches of foam covered front and back with 26ga. tempered steel. The best thing I've found to cut it is my DeWalt cordless. It cuts a thinner kerf (smaller projectiles) and turns a little slower (lower velocity). It is still an exercise in pain if you're in the wrong spot when the chips are flying.

If I was cutting aluminum I'd use that wood saw in a heartbeat,,,,but I would use my brain as well. If you have a background using a saw of that style with wood then you'll have no problem but if you are a noobie that sets behind a desk all day and never took a day of shop in school then STOP!!!
Get some training or yer gonna hurt yourself or worse yet somebody else!!
Same goes for about any other power tool that will cut metal.
Wear proper protection and THINK!!!

There's no way to hold the work being cut, & it'll spin the blade too fast.
Do it if you want to, but I sure wouldn't do it!!

This is what a Chop Saw looks like:

A Mitre Saw is for cutting wood and in the case of a picture frame shop, aluminum frames.
Here is a Miter Saw:

If you use a miter Saw as a chop saw, it will loose it's quality adjustments and the compound angle will not be that accurate after some useage. The Chop Saw is meant to cut straight down. With the stage or vice being able to be moved on one plane.

I have side tables for my chop saw, it helps holding the metal for the saw. I do the same thing for shear. But larger pieces, I use my Plasma Cutter, it's fast, it you have the stand off on it, it will cut like a dream. Faster than O/A.
Each technology has it's place, you just have to know how to use them. I learned the hard way a couple of times, but I survived.

There are many carbide tipped blades out there for cutting steels and non-ferrous metals. I've used a 7 1/2" circular saw with the proper blade, 40 to 58 tooth with a negetive tooth offset for free hand cutting aluminum, and other carbide blades designed for steel in cut off saws. They last a lot longer than abrasive blades with the right lubrcant. However, using zip cuts with a grinder makes quick and easy cuts on thin sheet metal or smaller structural sections.
