Not sure what you mean by convert, but I would think it should work. I have used metal cutting abrasive blades in a circular saw that are made for it. That's the first critical thing blade fit and in range for motor speed. another thing I would be concerned about is side pressure on cut off blade, made for edge pressure only. Either can grenade the blade. I doubt the miter saws are built as tough as most chop saws. Metal and debris from cutting are hot. Any openings and plastic parts not gonna last long. Probably good to blow the motor out frequently. Last would be clamp differences. Miter saw holds board flat straight across, chop saws generally have clamps to hold at varied position , although some are quite cheezy.
