you show 1"X6" Can it be used with 2" x 6" planks?

Yes, it would work with 2 x 6 boards. Works whether you run your flooring perpendicular to the joists or on the diagonal. Does not fit ondouble wide joists.

I don't see any reason it would not work with a 2x6" board. Basically it will just sit on the top of a board and the handle pulls it back towards you. It was well worth the $50 or so that I paid for mine especially if you are working alone. I was working with Tigerwood, a very very dense hardwood and it worked great. Does this help?

I guess so in theory, but if it is actually 2x6 in dimension, it will likely be too stiff to straighten. If by 2x6 you mean 1 1/2 x 5 1/2 pine or cedar, yes, it would work for softer lumber like that.
348301
It might work but I don't think that it would be as strong. The key is the two prongs that would grip the joist below. I'm not sure if they are long enough to give you a strong hold. Sorry, can't give you a better answer than that. But if you need a calculated guess, I'd buy it if I were in your shoes. Amazon is great for returns if it doesn't work out for you.

The BoWrench works fine with 2x6 lumber. It's designed to be used with either. Straightening and fastening 2x6 redwood is a one man operation once you practice with it a bit.

Yes, you can do so, and others have supplied special instructions. I would add that you may want to look at the grain of the wood, and make sure the convex side up and concave side down. Although some cupping is inevitable, the fasteners will probably be more effective if they are not trying hold down the plank and fighting against cupping.

Yes good question because they do not provide that, but my product was 2 foot wide and 6 1/2 foot long...hope this helps

only if they are short shelves. 1/2 inch is about half the strength of 3/4. The sides may bow after time. I would not use 1/2.

yes.2x6 boards (which is what this is designed for) refers to the with before it is trimmed at the lumber mill. after trimming a 2x6 is technically a 1 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Yes you could use a 2.0. The number refers to the width just like you suspected.

Would probably not work, we have a 4x4 and there is some extra but probably not enough for a 6x6

plank tile can b a problem cuz of ridges.and 18x18 diagional. havent had any problems yet. i ve cut alot of big tile with it.

It will accept a 2x8; or a 2x6 if you want a little more anchor to insert into the ground. These are powder coated steel,and very well made. Hope this helps!

The Little Giant videos recommend a 2x12, about $25 at lumber yards. I haven't used a wood plank but my experience with this size lumber is that it is very sturdy.
880420
yes it will.but the next new home I build I will install a 2x6 wall , but for what you are doing that will work
1630795
Yes you can. Also, you can use 2 2X8s, or 2 2X6s and 1 2X4. You may have to adjust the uprights so there is not too much overhang or causes pinching on your buttinsky. Just pre measure the widths of your boards and experiment from there. You may have to drill some extra holes for greater stability.

The design is for it to fit in a post. Do not believe it will work on a straight plank.

Yes, this saw will do 2x4s or 2x6s, for example, but I'd keep in mind that the saw probably is not for 3x3 or larger wooden posts. I'm just guessing on the largest size, however, from the size of the blade and overall size of the unit. This saw easily cuts paneling, however. Two blades come with the saw: a coarse blade for wood, and a fine-tooth blade for metal and plastic or PVC piping. So far the saw has done a great job for various tasks, and it's very compact and comfortable to use. I've used it mainly for planks about an inch thick, and fallen tree branches that need to be trimmed.

It has the 6"h but is 1/2in short on width. If you try to force it - not advisable.

The device is 6" wide and that is the size boards I used! It is open at the top so wider boards could probably be used with less stability.

My top railing is a similar size and this plangter works great for me. (A 2"x6" is the rough size before the board has been planed.)
