better CS blade negate the sloppy cut...When using a 10" blade the surface speed will be much greater and therefore you get a better and faster cut. If you use a smaller blade, the cutting speed will be reduced, you'll need to feed slower and you'll get a sloppier cut...
Do you have a specific need for using circ saw blade on the 4100...?
While certainly the depth of cut would be reduced, I've heard the opposite -that a circular saw (7.25") works as well, makes smoother cuts, throws up less sawdust.When using a 10" blade the surface speed will be much greater and therefore you get a better and faster cut.

that blade will work but the Diablo is Freud's economy blade...While certainly the depth of cut would be reduced, I've heard the opposite -that a circular saw (7.25") works as well, makes smoother cuts, throws up less sawdust.
Here's one example
What's in the worm can? What's the reasons?that blade will work but the Diablo is Freud's economy blade...
in an emergency CS blade will work...
but...
you will open a can of worms you needn't get into...
stick w/ the real deal...
slower cut speeds...What's in the worm can? What's the reasons?
Obviously, some people have success with it.
I'll remember that if I ever base jump with a circular saw blade.some people have success w/ base jumping too...
some don't...
I have done the same as CharlieL on the ZC inserts on my large saw Also use the 8" Dado on both saws.Since my Unisaw doesn't allow me to lower a 10" blade low enough to insert a new zero clearance insert and make the cut, I use a 7 1/4" blade first. Then switch to a good 10" blade of choice to finish the cut. I have a different zero clearance insert for each blade that I use. I label the bottom of the insert to indicate which blade it is for so I don't use the wrong one. Other than using the small blade for this one purpose I don't think I've ever used a small regular saw blade on my Unisaw for anything else, but I do have an 8" box joint blade set and an 8" dado blade set that get used on the Unisaw.

Actually, the circular saw blade spins faster, thinner kerf, and is less difficult for the motor to spin. Less strain on the table saw lengthens life.slower cut speeds...
fewer blade selections..
more work for the saw shortening life.
