I've been using a 7" diamond grit metal blade like this https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-7...-204202535-_-N on a dedicated circular saw for quite a while and like it very much. The steel cutoff wheel is cleaner (no dust), lasts well if you don't overheat it and doesn't change dimension so it produces more consistent & accurate cuts. It's simple to use an edge guide as normal for very good long straight cuts and not too difficult to avoid scratching the base metal.

Can you run this metal blade dry, or do you need to use coolant? I've seen them but never tried one.
