Putting a sawblade on that is just asking for trouble. That type of chopsaw is not setup to do that type of work. Just make sure if you do use it that way to remember that it may kick, blade come loose, and keep yopur fingers clear.

itwanabe never actually said what kind of blade he wanted to put on his creation. The photo, which I gather is something he wants to copy or take as a model, looks more like a tile saw with the tray under the cutting area, or an abrasive saw.

However, Kevin45, aside from the normal high hazard of circular saws, why is the homemade chop saw configuration shown inherently more dangerous than the equivalent purchased miter saw? Of course, any saw would have to have proper support and clamping of the workpiece (which is not visible in the photo) and should have a retractible blade guard and a belt guard, but assuming that those items are provided and well-designed, why is this more dangerous than the equivalent commercial saw?

Personally, for the money you will waste .....go buy a chop saw
