Is this a good saw to cut apart a hot tub for disposal?

I believe so....with the right blade. I've used this to cut very large (6-10") tree branches with no problem whatsoever.....it comes with a small blade, but any of the ones on the shelf at any local retailer SHOULD fit....I bought some 12" and 16" blades at wally world that fit perfect. For a hot tub, I might worry about battery life.....either do it in small chunks or buy extra batteries, but I think it's strong enough to do the trick.

The best way to find out what the correct blade would be is to go to a store that stocks the blades an read the package. It will tell you what each type blade is designed for. Since I have never cut up a tub I would have no idea which blade to use.

Nooooo! Buy at least a 4-6 Amp corded saw. I broke mine taking pallets apart.

There are several blades available and I am sure that several of the fine ones would cut sea shells easily. I bought this saw several months ago, and it does a GREAT job with fine cuts in thin stock. Great Dremel tool!

Sounds like this saw may be just what you need. It's very simple to operate and the blades don't easily break or come loose. It has more than adequate power for most wood projects. I actually used it mostly on fiberboard but some wood and a little bit of thin sheet metal. It did everything I asked of it except cut a straight cut which all depends on the operator. If this is in your price range I think you'll be quite satisfied with it.

I used my saw to cut treated 2x6 lumber on my pier. It ripped right through cleanly and quickly. A bit hard on the battery use though, so you're going to need extras. Overall, I was impressed and pleased with my purchase.

Yes, make sure you get the right blade for it. If it is the thick metal plates, a standing band saw may be better though!

Possibly with the correct blade...Not sure if you need coolant while cutting though. I don't think it is as much the saw, as it is the blade, that is important. Circular saws are not meant for coolant...Water and electricity = shocking conclusion. I did a quick search and did not find any 7 1/4" masonary blades...So no, a circular saw will not cut it and probably is not what you need.

I think it will do fine but get add'l blade for back up. This is a small job saw. If you're doing big project rent a bigger ones.

I would not expect it to cut up the bathtub. I purchased it to cut up and remove an older laminate floor in my kitchen and the unit bogged down too often. I ended up using another tool and returned the dremel.

As noted by others, this saw isn't designed for intricate work. Even if it were, you would do better to avoid the risks inherent in using a high power saw of poor quality manufacture.

It's not made for that application, so I wouldn't try it. Might work for a while, but I imagine you'd ruin the saw pretty quickly with cement dust and such.

Yes! I just used a quick and easy skill saw. It's too thick to cut with scissors.. if that's what you're wondering.

Yes, but maybe you will find a little a problem to make the pipe properly hold in the saw. Get a miter saw if you going to cut PVC.

I would say definitely yes! This saw makes very fine cuts and is versatile. I love it. I recently cut and installed dowle. It did a great job ...nice and smooth.

I would not recommend it as cold saw is designed to have a lower blade speed. Cutting aluminum would probably be ok.

This would be a good saw for that type cutting..it's very easy to use and I really like the ease to adjust the saw

I like the Reciprocating saw for light demolition type work but if I'm needing something with a finer cut I would use the jigsaw

See Jane's answer. While the saw wasn't made for that purpose, with the correct blade, it should not be a problem.
