I did exactly that in a big Makita slide compound mitre saw some years ago, cutting the same stuff................. just coz I could.
The only downsides were buildup of hot metal 'sawdust' in the sliding clear guard and the metal frame holding the guard and a few other places.
Bought a Metabo (made in China) cut off saw after that experience.
cheers, DL
