Stop in for a cup of coffee

so I have a question for all you tool gurus. A couple years ago when my great-grandmother died, I inherited some of my great grandfather's wood working tools. One of them is a vertical bandsaw. Would there be any concerns with me putting a band for metal cutting in it vs the wood band thats in it now? I mean don't think there would be but I don't wanna destroy this thing either
Blade speed is your concern. I dont think you can really hurt it.
