Brush trimmer blades?

Have to ask . . . Why?

I often use string trimmer line. Two pieces about a foot long wedged between 2 washers.

In a table saw????

Say it works, Mark. Which part of "why" would you still be interested in?  "Works" defined as indistinguishable from other thin kerf saw blades of Asian manufacture, and comes ready for 20mm arbor.  If it doesn't work, and I stay out of hospital, I still have it for my gas trimmers.  Basically comes down to 22 cents a tooth, and the fact they fit 20mm arbor saws.

I have run construction blades with the diamond punched out.  Also a good fit on a 20mm arbor.  I thought it might stay centered.  It didn't, but I didn't notice until I stopped the saw.  Cut fine no vibration.  Seems the parameters are less demanding than I would have thought.  Or maybe the 20mm shaft helps.  That would be exactly twice as stiff as the average arbor on a 5/8" saw.  I need to try it sometime with a 3D printed insert.

I can see no reason, other, perhaps, for saving money, for a saw blade that is unlikely to give accurate cuts and, for $15 or so, is most unlikely to be tempered, balanced and made with decent quality standards just to be exported and sold to idiots on U-tube.  They might be fine for cutting brush if you're careful, but have no place in a wood shop saw.
Of course, I could be wrong, but I need not risk my life to find out
