Question

I have a 12" compound miter saw, and I want to use it to cut precise angles in some 2" steel tubing. The standard (black) abrasive blades to not seem to fit correctly on the saw. Is there some way that the blade fits on that I am overlooking, is there a different (what type?) of blade that I need to use, or can this be done at all on this type of saw? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
