I want to cut holes for access to power cables, on a hard wood console (expensive!)...is this a good hole saw that wont damage it?

Yes this would cut a hole in your hardwood. Keep the drill speed slow and steady.

Yes, that this close to the upper limit of what it can cut. With 4 inch or smaller trees, you should have no problems. The tool is very safe; much safer than a regular chain saw.

Sounds like you need a hand held Porta-Band Saw. If it is something that will get occasional use, I would get one from Harbor Fright for $83. or spend $200+ for a better model if used often. Try Craigslist for tools as well DEWALT DWM120K 10 Amp 5-Inch Deep Cut Portable Band Saw Kit

This would not be my tool of choice for making the type of cut you describe, although, in an emergency you might be able to rig something up that would be servicable. A circular saw would definitely be preferable especially in terms of smoothness.

This is a timber saw which is designed to only cut wood. I would think it would be very unsafe to cut anything other than what it was designed for. You should read the safty manual and or contact Makita directly.

good evening dont look too much, it is much more simple and will cost less to use a jig saw! the hole dont have to be so accurate and the plate will cover if it is not perfect cut thanks Avi Depot.

I highly doubt it, but if so it would take a long time to do so. But in defense of the saw, such cuts are not the intended purpose of this saw. This saw is intended for smaller cuts in tight spaces where boards need to be cut flush. For the cuts you are doing you should use either a table saw or a circular saw. Preferably the table saw.

Sir! I used this little machine in solid pine and 1/4" plywood where the cut quality did not matter. Seems to be cutting ok., but you might need to change the blade to get better cut, such as more tooth on the blade.

Ted, I wouldn't advise it. A table saw is the safest way to rip lumber to a consistent width. Next to that a circular saw if you don't need an exact cut.

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

The saw is strong enough. Make sure you get a long pruning blade (6" to 8") for the job. The pruning blades work great.

Not a good choice because you would break or have to utilize a number of the etch type bits to complete this heavier type job. Standard straight bit will cut, but take a lot to do it with the smaller bits!! Regular standard size bits and router for best and safest cutouts. Good Luck!

Sounds like this saw may be just what you need. It's very simple to operate and the blades don't easily break or come loose. It has more than adequate power for most wood projects. I actually used it mostly on fiberboard but some wood and a little bit of thin sheet metal. It did everything I asked of it except cut a straight cut which all depends on the operator. If this is in your price range I think you'll be quite satisfied with it.

As noted by others, this saw isn't designed for intricate work. Even if it were, you would do better to avoid the risks inherent in using a high power saw of poor quality manufacture.

I think it would do the job. I don't own this saw but I used my brother's on a deer hunt in Pa. last year. I used it to cut through the skull of a buck to bring back the antlers. It went through like butter. I'm considering buying one for butchering.

I think it could be easily cut with a hack saw. It's pretty tough stuff. I wouldn't recommend using a utility knife for safety reasons.

I've had this saw for a long time. It's great for light duty use. I wouldn't use it on 12" solid metal regularly. And the 20v battery will not work. If u need to cut alot of hard steel go with a plug in cord one. They are way stronger. The cord is a hassle but having to recharge batteries every 5 minutes and weaker cutting ability off sets the hassle of the cord. If r just cutting 2x4, plywood, nails, PVC, copper/brass, nails/bolts tree branch then this saw is worth the money
