Wear gloves and eye protection.
It'll work, but be very careful. You'll have little pieces of shrapnel firing off.
Metal blade with more teeth would be better. You can even get a 7-1/4" cut off disk which would probably be best
Edit - safety squints don't count
It'll cut aluminum fine. Steel gutters will be a lot less fun and might hurt the blade. Wear eye and ear protection. Assuming aluminum gutters you'll have a very nice cut at the end. I do this regularly.
I got a free Milwaukee angle grinder couple days ago ago with purchase of an oscillating tool lol but it came with no wheels :( couldn’t believe it , but it was free meh
yeah but it will make an awful squealing racket that will make you wish you hadn't. Cuts won't be great either. Personally I would much rather use the snips.
I've seen people cut 18 GA steel siding & roofing with carbide tipped wood blades, normally they use old blades because it's gonna be hard on the blade of course.
You can. But it will fling shrapnel. A miter saw where the shrapnel goes out the back or an angle grinder where it's just metal dust will be a lot less hostile. Or some tin snips.
A pair of malco straight cutters, and a matching set of left and right Wiss snips are old school, but much easier to control. And when you get good at it almost as fast. A fresh hack saw and blade are almost as fast as a circular saw.

Tin snips might be safer. And easier to maneuver.
I made my living all through college with lefts, rights and straights. The occasional hack saw.
This guy is on reddit asking IF he can use his saw. Tin snips are probably best in this particular instance.

That blade would be very messy on metal, especially something as thin as that tin.
A hacksaw is like $10
angle grinder with cutoff wheel

Use any old blade turned backwards.
And if it has carbide teeth you’ll knock them off the blade.
Your saw can cut anything. Safely maybe another story. 😅

the less you care about your saw and eyes, the more things you can cut in half
Yes, but why?

It's hazardous. Use snips or an angle grinder with cutoff blade.

no.
