I agree with the others. Unless you only need to cut 1 or 2 pieces to length, I would use a power miter saw.

I don't think it would work well if you are trying to rip them length wise.

No. This is for hobby parts. A chop saw or cutoff saw much better and safer, and more square.

No I wouldn't think so would lose power even cutting 1/4 pine and after a just a couple of uses the power switch began to fail so I replaced it and after a few more uses the saw stopped working altogether

Yes. You can set the depth of the cut but the groove would have to go all the way across the board unless you're ok with a groove that does not end cleanly.

They arent really intended to be cut - they snap together. However , Id imagine a hack saw / sawsall would cut it just fine.

Yes Mark. It's quite possible. I have rip cut 18mm ply with this jig into 1" wide strips for a job. I have also cut prelaminated particle board with this. I have had no issues. But one thing when cutting small strips. Be careful about the position of the hands. You need to balance the jig and have the piece you are cutting, steady.

I used it for 1/2" bellawood engineered flooring which is a laminated product multiple layers of fine plywood and an approximately an 1/8" of top layer of oak. it nailed thru the plywood. the tool is not suited for flooring thicker then 5/8". If your intent on using staples then the MIIIFS is better or a standard cleat nailer will work. avoidputting the cleats too close to the end of the board.

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.

I have used it to cut 3/4 inch (19mm) oak flooring. Plus it cut deep enough to cut the underlayment as well. So up to 20 or 21mm is no problem. Cuts very fast. Make sure you have the right blade (wood) and have a vacuum handy as it make a lot of saw dust. Good Luck.

I wouldn't hesitate to try it. The cut is very close. The blade is thinner than most saw blades. It is flexible so you can get it to lie flush against the surface. There is a medium tooth side and a fine tooth side. You may require a tad of sanding or a sharp razor knife to finish if there is a splinter left. edit: I see the suggestion that it may be too large for flush cutting. I would say that all depends on how tight your work space is. I have cut many delicate materials with this saw and it does everything I've ever tried t on. That said, if you have a huge saw budget, get as many saws as you wnat. This one does a lot for one tool. I wouldn't hesitate to try it. The cut is very close.

not really it is more for tight places that you can't get to or cutting off door jambs that are already set so that you can slide flooring under the jamb things like that it will cut the lumber ok but it will take alot long than a circular saw and it is to hard to hold straight to cut 2x4s and what not. Hope this helps

I have not used it for that purpose.The motor would handle soft wood but I don't think you will get a straight cut as youwould with a different saw.

It could be done but with difficultly because the top is not near 24 inches long. Any portable wet saw would have the same problem. I would give it a try if I was doing a home project.

As with any circular saw plunge cuts are difficult. You have to raise the guard, get a little forward motion, and cut slowly with the blade at full speed to avoid the kickback. This worked fairly well on my hardwood flooring. I then used a spiral saw to trim behind the cut.

It would probably cut foam board without a problem, but the 3/16 measurement might be difficult to manage since the paper cutter has a half inch grid.

You should be able to as this was designed to be cut with the tiny blade. I just tested this with my whale punch with no problems ;-)

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.

I have been able to cut some big limbs with this tool. Half inch would be no problem to it. I have cut some that are maybe 4 inches. Not only that but it comes with many other unexpected tools like a dust mop that reaches my high ceilings. Not only that it has ways for you to add your favorite tool to it and I now see this as a must have around the house. Trust me this is a great buy for the price.

I don't think it will cut your 5 1/4" base vertical. I used it to cut 4" base with no problem. The blade rises to just over 6" clearance, but it appears that coming down the top of the base would hit the arbor before the blade cut through to the bottom. But this is just eyeballing it, not actual application.
