can this blade cut stainless steel?

You get about 2-3 clean cuts on stainless pipe. Sadly you get the same with their Stainless Steel blade which cost double.

Is this blade good for cutting laminate flooring?

I used the the saw and blade for various materials including laminate flooring. My test cuts were opposite the blade rotation to minimize chipping on the face, but there were no problems. Generally, move the material at the appropriate speed to make a smoother cut ( too slow could leave a burn mark, too fast could make the material jagged or chipped). Tape can be applied to the floor for the first few test cuts to reduce any chipping. I used the blade with a sliding compound miter saw. I also have cut metal, wood, and PVC. Make sure the RPM of the blade and saw match up.

Can i use this with any brand of chop saw?

This is a low rpm blade. Using it on a high rpm saw is dangerous, and the blade will only last a few cuts.

Will this be a good choice for cutting steel closet rods?

Yes, it cuts steel very well and without heating up the rod like a traditional steel cut-off wheel / chop saw, which typically has a larger (10") angle grinder type of steel blade. Also, it makes a very clean cut, with hardly any deburring required. Which to me is worth it. I cut curtain rods to length and traditional steel cut-off blades can heat up so much that they start to melt the paint on the rod. Not this one! The only downside with the Evolution is the blades do not last as long as I would like. After they get worn out, the cut is not as clean and can sort of chip out the rod leaving an imperfect jaggedy cut. You know it's time to change the blade then. I use it professionally, and I have not counted how many cuts it makes before getting dull, but I'd say 40-50 cuts, or less. But the rods I cut are relatively thick walled, yours may not be? Hope this helps.
