Tile Saw

This may be a stupid question, but can a table tile saw be used to cut wood such as 1" moulding? Al-U

When for $15 you can get a Japanese style pull saw that DOES work, why would you try?

The tile saw uses a continous rim abrasive blade, typically wet with water. Not a good solution for wood.

Patriarch, who has been using the tile saw too much lately...

Yes, but I have no idea what the ends of the cut would look like. Try it. I can't imagine the saw being damaged, so the worst you're looking at is a bad cut.

I've actually tried this (cutting tiny tile pieces with a wooden push stick). The tile saw blade won't even put a dent in MDF.

That may be very bad advice if your tile saw has coolant in it. It could gum things up terribly, and it's liable to wreck your cutting disc.
