I have to cut 1/2' off the length of 2x6x16' floor beam. Would the saw do it?

As I understand it, your question is really how deep a cut can it make?The answer is a little over 1 and a half inches, so the answer is no.I would try to get someone with a table saw or check with Home Depot or Lowes and see if they will do it.

It should be fine but you will have to recharge it or buy some extra batteries depending on how many times you need to cut the board.

Hi. I have had good luck with mine. I use it just like I would use my 71/4 inch saw. I see no reason why it would not work as long as battery is fully charged. Its come in handy to me more than just once. Nice little saw. Hope this helps.

Mitchell, I am not sure of the maximum width this saw will cut. I know that we were cutting 6" x 4" angle in it with the corner of the angle in the vertical position. The rear "vise" section of the saw is adjustable forward and backwards to allow for larger pieces of steel. I can check it tomorrow and get back to you. I do know that this is one kick*** saw and am very pleased with it. I use another saw in my shop that I cut wider plate so this is why I am not sure about the maximum width. I will get back to you.

I don't believe so, not unless you would consider using a saw to be "easy" - otherwise the bar will not come out without force or use of a cutting tool.

Yes. I made a base for my miter saw out of 3/4 inch plywood and put a 2x4 in the center of the base. I then put the base in the workmate and tighten it up and was really to tackle any type of cutting that needed to be done. I hope that this will be helpful for you.

The specs for the saw list a cutting height of 4 5/8" I believe but I think the max may be more like 4 1/2" tall wood.

I used this saw on 12"x24" porcelain tile. I actually took the guides off and fed it through by hand. I marked the top of the tile with pencil and was able to cut any length needed. Hope this helps.

The length doesn't matter as long as you support the uncut end (going into the saw) as well as the finished end (exiting the blade). Unfortunately, you cannot rip a 6" (width) board because the blade is a only a 10" blade and even when raised up to the max, you really can't rip a 2x4 any more than a tad over 3". The blade isn't "tall" enough to completely rip through anything "taller" than about 3.250". I believe a 12" blade would work, but I haven't seen any 12" table saws (that are affordable).

It cannot cut 2 inch! it might be able to cut 1 1/2 inch balsa wood! Don't waste your money on this saw

Yes, I think it would. Have notched out some planks and entered the cut with a radius. For a more exact cut a jigsaw can be used with a cement board cutting blade. Have used one from Bosch.

It could be done but you would need something to support the saw track (like a 2x10) that you could lay down beside your 2x4 and then just slide the track over as you make each 1/2" cut. It will be tricky though as you make each cut and the 2x4 decreases in width. The rubber bottom on the track may not be enough to keep the 2x4 from moving.

HiYes. I used this saw with the metal cutting bladeto cut through 1/2 inch steel rods.

It is limited because the tile will hit the frame of the saw on the left. I just did a job with 6x24 tiles on the diagonal and I had to be quite creative to make all my cuts around the floor vents. It does help that you can make plunge cuts similar to a miter saw. Overall this is a very nice saw. But may not be the right saw for large format tiles.

I think with the right kind of saw you could cut it down to fit your space. Or maybe you can find some smaller lengths and put them together to make it work.

Sorry, my wife has this account and just forwarded this to me. I think it should connect, but you wouldn't get much depth in your cut. I have a 20" bar (which only has about 18" actual) and I was not able to cut that full depth. If you want more info, I can set it up and send you exact numbers. Just let me know. casey.sweeney@indy.govI think it is totally worth the money. I've only made large beams with it, but it's nice to have this capability for cheap

Yes. My flooring was a little more than 1/4 in but not quite a 1/2 in and I was cutting it with no problem what so ever. So I know it can cut 1/2 in. Again a great tool makes installing laminated flooring a breeze.

the saw yes, but the blade that comes with it is a gapless blade with a rather rough diamond embedding. with the proper blade it should work for your task

As with any saw , there are limits to how small you can go before it gets into the dangerous area. if it's odd shaped you may wan to clamp it to prevent it from kicking out on you. That being said , It's powerful enough to go through 2x4's, and trim work . If the parts are that small , you may want to consider a scroll saw. Hope that helps
