Does the blade extend all the way to the edge? Can you plane flush to the edge of the tool?

No. That is why I gave this a poor rating. The edger blade gets destroyed quickly because without the guide you keep hitting the concrete. I go through at least 2 edger blades a season. I am about to donate it and buy something that works.

No. The blade component extends into the hollow handle about one inch (of the four-five inch handle). It appears affixed to the handle by a little six sided bolt into the blade and a hollow cross base on the inside of the hollow handle through which the end of the blade fits inside. Perhaps that end of the blade is glued into the handle cross brace. I accidentally bought a second one of these and I'm looking forward to giving it to a friend of mine with 30 wooded/marshy acres in Wisconsin. Probably my favorite economical survival knife. It's a heavy piece of shiny metal with all those extras.

I only use this for jointing edges (which it does very well). Anything wider than 4-5 inches I do on my Dewalt 13-inch planer. Safer & smoother.

This is difficult. From the fulcrum (the pivot point), the blades extend about 3 inches. The cutting edge on one blade is about 2.5 inches and about 2 inches on the other because of a notch meant to retain round material (like flower stems) to be cut by the other blade.

Aaron,The saw has a stop that limits how far the blade will go down and at a 45 degree the saw stops before it is fully through the bottom of the board. So, the answer is no.

It has kind of a factory edge. I think I could do better with a sharpening stone. I was trying to resurrect an old hand plane. Didn't work any better than it ever did. Finally bought a Bosch power planer. Much better. I always get dragged kicking and screaming into the future....

There is distal taper on the blade but it is more pronounced on the bottom (edge side) then on the top. This allows the blade to maintain its rigidity to the tip.

No separate "edging tool". The inset wheel position "offers closer side edging", means you cut grass close to where the wheels travel and not, as on some other reel mowers, about 3 inches inboard of the wheels.

Ready to go....the blade can be honed to your livening, such as a micro bevel and however you strop your edge. I found this tool extremely well built for my purpose. I use it as a miter plane with a shooting board. You will not be disappointed. I am sure veritas planes are fine, but at double plus the price is very hard to swallow.

hi Lucas,I just searched and found this, http://www.homedepot.com/p/Dremel-1-1-8-in-Bi-Metal-Flush-Cut-Blade-MM462/202074046?N=5yc1vZc23d.looks like dremel makes an flush cut blade. so im gonna say yes.

I don't know, because I only needed to cut at right angles and shallow depths. That said, you can definitely extend the blade to cut at 1/2 an inch, but I'm not sure (this is not a doubt, just a lack of personal experience) how well it will work compared to the very reliable and clean cuts I get.

The part that extends is the auger blades which can be adjusted for a larger or smaller diameter hole. I have had no need to extend the handle but have used the auger to dig holes up to 32-33 inches deep. I have used this for over one year and would never go back to the other type post hold digger.

I only work in foam board. Official website says it works with 3/16" foam board. When I extend the blade all the way I can get through 3/8" of foam board on a 45*.

the tip of the blade is a stright angle cut. there is a slight curve to the over-all blade.

As user K. Rocke said, the splitter is designed to be either up (fully extended) or below the table. The action on the particular splitter I got is fairly stiff, so I can imagine only extending it halfway up, but that seems like it could cause a dangerous situation where it moves halfway through the cut, or I'm tempted to reach for it over the blade. I think the most straightforward answer to your question is "No.".

The ends are angled, so I measured the longest distances, tip to tip. Blade fully extended: 7-1/4" Blade Retracted: 6-7/8"
