will this cut thru 1/2 inch particle board?

Oh yeah. Can't say as I have done this, but it is plenty strong. I've cut steel with this, it should do it with the appropriate blade.

Yes it will, make sure to use a wood blade. Again it's a jig saw, if you re going to be cutting a lot of particle board, and depending on the project you may want to consider a circular saw or a table saw, again it's depending on how big the project is... The jig saw is for making round cuts and more detailed cuts, if you re just making straight cuts and a lot of them a circular saw is what you'll want.. I hope that helps

I don't know. Probably not unless there is a special blade to used. Blades are small and delicate. Can be used to cut cement board.

Patti... I have never cut steel any thicker than 1/2 inch. Cutting tip works well for this. ~~don ~~

The chuck only goes up to 1",but a bit for hole cutting should do it and go through 2"

I would say if the logs were straight and smooth you could cut a 4 1/2 inch diameter log into boards. At least that is what I measured on my saw just now. This saw is probably not very practical for cutting boards out of logs although it is possible.

It will trim things up to 1 inch. It cuts a little slower at that size but it does work well

I would say no as you would not be able to get the blade underneath the board. It cuts like scissors.

I am not sure about that but I guess you must use what comes with it for sure. I also think the thickest board you can cut is about 1 inch by 15 1/4 cross cut. I personally use this machine to cut thin strips of wood for artisan works.

If the blade works on it yes. However it's only going to cut so far into it. I'd be looking at a different type of saw if I was trying to do that.

Mine is clipped onto a 5/8 inch pullout drawer. I think it should work on 1/2 inch. I also put a felt between the contact surfaces to prevent scratch.

No, It won't cut anything thicker than 1/16". I have cut plastic and fabric with mine.

my husband said yes it would but to take your time and if it starts heating up to stop and let it cool off then finish. he has cut 1/4 inch with no problem or heating up.

It will cut about two inches. This item is great for cutting through something with a smooth surface like sheetrock. Any breaks in the smooth surface and the cutting blades on the outer edge will get snagged in it and it will kick back and could hurt you. Also you must use a good 1/2 drill when cutting into deeper material. I used mine to cut through plaster and flat wood siding and it cut like butter. For those two cuts it was well worth the cost.

I'm sure it would work, but because of amount of material needing to be cleared out, especially with 3/4" lumber, I think the 1/2" bit would be the safest route to go.

Yes - it can cut through poster board - one sheet at a time. I used it on very heavy recycled paper to make round wedding fans. It did very well on that!

I really don't know. It does have attachments that measure 1/2 inch but the blade are a little resist in the head.

It will, but may not leave the cleanest cut. I would not recommend this saw for 'finish' work like that. I use this for rough edges like installing electrical outlets where the rough edges are covered by a finish plate.
