I am as green as they come. Does this cut wood,miter as well as metal?

I never tried to use this for wood. It is purpose designed for metal, and is not set up for the accurate miters you would get with a miter saw for interior trim, etc. For metal, it is a great tool though. I believe it also turns at a lower rpm than most woodsaws, so I don't think you could just change out the blade.

I have used it for both, but I also have a good miter saw with calibrated pivot for a easy angle adjustment. I think you will find the angle adjustment a PITA for lots of wood work. I have no idea what would happen to the blade for long term wood cutting but it walks through metal fast so I suspect it would last a long time. Also note I don;t think it has a blade brake like wood miter saws, watch those fingers. It's is a excellent cutting machine.

I have both the metal cutting and wood cutting versions of this saw. Was at a job site recently where I only had the metal cutting saw, and naturally needed to cut a 2X4. It cuts a wider path and the blade spins about 1/3 as fast, but it did a good job of cutting, certainly not worth going back home just for a couple of wood cuts. As previously answered, the miter set up would not lend itself to any precision woodworking.

yes - you will need to buy metal cutting blade - comes with wood cutting blade.

Mine cuts square (miters not so great) but not very clean. You would probably need to invest in a better blade unless you are willing to do a bit of planning and/or sanding.

it does a nice job 0n lite to medium steel and wood, pretty sure it will cut plastic.

It cuts wood, but just a little slower, because the blade is made for metal. However, I have done it without a problem on occasion...

I haven't used it for this but I'm certain that it does. For about $20 dremel sells a miter cutting guide (Dremel Saw-Max SM840 Miter Cutting Guide).

I didn't try to cut metal but I doubt it will since RPM on this saw not that high, depends what gage is metal as well but it's a great saw to cut thick wood it's easily cut 6-6 post

I use mine to cut both wood and plastic model parts so it should do the job for you.

I used this blade for cutting Lock Dry aluminum decking and it worked well. I did not even consider using it for miter saw wood cuts because of the high blade count which I thought would clog. I went back to my carbide tipped wood cutting blade and use it for all my wood working.

yes it does, I also bought a variety package of blades to give me an assortment. I think it works good for what I do. Very good for thin wood. Practice with it fist on some scrap wood to get the feel of it.

My experience has it working much better on green wood - takes a longer time to cut through dry wood.

Yes, this device will more than handle any cut through wood. For a tougher metal cut however you may need to put a high speed steel or carbide bit into it. Different style cutting tools will be needed for the various cuts you're talking about. I would recommend eye/ face protection; this product it's very powerful.

Yes it will cut steel materials as long as you install the correct metal cutting blade and reduce the saws blade speed as recommended.

If you get a GOOD quality blade for metal and variable power switch you can cut steel. I use mine to cut circular saw blades for knife blanks

These Tungsten Carbide Cutters will have absolutely no trouble cutting any hard wood or "metal" for that fact. They seem to be really good tools and do a wonderful job of removing unwanted wood or metal from a surface. You will probably have to be "easy handed" on them, for they are aggressive. Once you get used to them I think you will be extremely satisfied, and they don't ware out very easily.

I bought the set for my son. I have used blades like these and they have no problem cutting thru wood withe the wood blades and the metal blades will cut thru some metals.

Bahco makes different blades depending on what type of wood you are cutting; green wood, dry wood, etc. What are you cutting?
