I hope you don't cherish the blade you use for the test.

Cutting a gummy metal like stainless steel, copper, or lead with such a 
blade almost guarantees that the object metal will "smear" over the 
entire working surface of the blade, rendering it unusable.

Given that there are always things that can mitigate the effect, a heavy 
flood coolant system with a soluble lubricant would probably alleviate 
the problem.
