I have an old cheap plywood blade that didn"t cut plywood very well anymore. So when I needed to cut some sheet metal, I used that, put in backwards. It worked just fine, extremely loud though. I made a lot of cuts with that blade, which is now just about toothless--worn almost smooth.
The only problem I ever had was that since the blade melts the sheet metal, it leaves a small amount of burned edge. That isn"t much of a problem if that burned edge is covered up with other metal, but it doesn"t look as good as an edge cut by a shear and it might be a place that could rust.
As far as using tinsnips goes, I could never get a decently straight edge. Maybe I needed higher quality snips though. Using tinsnips is also WAY slower than using a blade in a power saw.
