Can you use a blade with it?

Yes- because it is a straight shaft, you can. You cannot use a blade with the curved shaft models. I have used a blade on mine for tough weeds and very small saplings and it works extremely well.

As far as I know, yes, but some blades cannot be turned sideways to be used as a edgerPage 23 of the manual lists some other cutting heads.

The instructions advise against it. Not exactly sure why. Maybe not powerful enough. Other than that, it's a great piece of equipment as usual with Husqvarna.

The instruction manual specifically states that it is not to be used with a metal blade. http://answerarmy.com/posts/0dc6731763 got a reply from the manufacturer saying "It has been Husqvarna's stance for US models that blades should not be mounted on flex shaft units. We do however offer a Tri-Cut ( three plastic flail blades ) head that can be installed on the 224L Husqvarna does not offer a blade kit for the 123 or 223. For grass blade use I would recommend the 326 or 327 series of units."

I suppose it could if you used the right blade, but I have only used it for would so far.

Yes, you can put the string attachment on and use it, or remove it and put the blade attachment on and use it. Both work great! The blade's power is impressive.

Probably, but it is the wrong blade in the wrong tool for the job. You need a blade with teeth such as a small circular saw and blade or a carpenter's saw.

I would say yes but not without seriously dulling the blade. I'd suggest a different knife for that. Still a good knife though.

If used for another purpose than a knife, probably. This blade is quite robust, but like most knives, it can be damaged.

No, not without an adapter. I haven't found an adapter yet so I haven't been able to use the blade. Don't waste your money like I did.

You could probably sharpen it yourself, but I would take it to a professional to make sure the blade stays straight. There is probably one close to where you live or work.

I have never tried it but I suppose you could if the blade fit in the sharpeners
1684887
You could but it really isn't ideal. I imagine you'd burn through your blades pretty quick unless you were super careful to make sure they don't torque up against the wood and snap. I might suggest one of the other blades designed to cut wood.

Yes, you can. A sharp knife is all you need to cut it, and a small awl should work to punch through it

You can. However anything thicker like foam core is not possible. It really is a matter of wanting to manipulate what is being cut, and with this type of blade, it is not possible.

Yes but it is recommended to purchase a better on. The blade provided does not last long.

I don't see why not. It has a large blade that is fairly sharp. Should have lots of leverage because of its length and weight.

I don't see why not, as long as you get the proper length and style of blade for the job.

I don't see why not. There are some with the opinion that you should not use anything. Just dry hone the blade. However, once you use oil, they say you need to continue using oil. Hope this helps.

You can, but it is not recommended. Aluminum is too soft and it tends to overheat the carbide tips. I use it for occasional small cuts that need extreme accuracy. Just remember to keep the blade cool. You will greatly reduce the life of the blade.
