You have to clamp the metal a specific direction in order for the teeth to enter the metal at the correct angle to prolong their life.

No flat cuts, too hard on the teeth.

Anyone that tells you that their HF abrasive special is equivalent is just plain goofy. That saw will cut a slice off the end of a chunk of tube about a 32nd of an inch thick with no distortion. Try that sometime with an abrasive saw.
How are the blades holding up for you?
