What is the thickness of the blade? I 'm cutting a flashing kerf in a chimney and need to know the width of the slot this blade will make.

It appears to be about 3/16" and if your grinder is true and balanced you will get a 3/16" to 1/4" slot. Enough to get your flashing and some adhesive caulking to secure your flashing to the kerf. Good grinding and happy trails.Alan

I'm measuring exactly 3/32, and visually just shy of 1/8th inch. With hand hold, call it an 1/8 or more. It will cut amazingly well. Steady hold will be the challenge.

Zachary, I used this blade to cross-cut bamboo flooring and it did an amazing job. The actual width of the cut is a little less than an 1/8". The term for the width of a cut is Kerf. This precision cut blade is manufactured to have a kerf of 0.102". This is about 1/64" narrower than a 1/8" wide cut. Remember that precision cuts you need a quality miter saw and saw blade.

I would tell you the dimensions but am unable to since I no longer have it. I used it maybe 3 times successfully. On the fourth use the blade shattered into five pieces. Each of the 4 blades separated from the square hub area. That leads me to believe it's just poor quality metal that caused the failure and not any manufacturing defect. My best advice is to spend more elsewhere on a better quality blade.

Apologies on the slow reply. All slots are 3/16" diameter. Lengthwise mine are the same as the previous answer. Fine for almost all cooking knives, not so good for anything heavier like a hunting knife blade or cleaver blade.

On the bottom of the slicer between the blade and the handle there is a square block 3-1/8"long (8cm) that sits on the same angle as the blade. You rotate it by 1/4 turns it has the numbers 0.5, 1.3, 2.0 and 3.0 which are the thicknesses. I don't know how accurate hey are I just pick the one I want.Martin

From what I could tell, by laying my S.A. on the one in the Wall Street Journal article it fits, for now. Dry measure my knife was 2.36, but I've had longer ones that would not make it. My saw blade is an rch from 3",sorryTSA(the stand around) people will be looking into how this will work out. But only in the USA at this time.You will not be "Boarding" over sea's, with a knife yet!

The cleaver slot on mine is 3 15/16 inches wide. If you have a wider cleaver than that you can carefully cut through the wood barrier on the right side of the slot into the next slot for a total of 5 1/4 inches.

Not sure what the actual measurement is for the thickness but I can say that you have to WORK to get it to even flex. VERY solid blade and totally able to use reverse side saw on at least a 1" thick branch and no issues!!! =0)

the oregon web site will give the answer. Sears of known to use different makers for thier products. A Referance to the owners manual should give the requirements of the blade measurements.

Gary:It is a thick blade. I'm at my office, so I can't give you an exact measurement.Tom

The slot is 4 7/8 inches wide. Enough room for my cleaver and a small boning knife.

Whoever is working for Amazon and wrote that info messed up. The blade Is 7" and the rest is 5". But that really should be the least of your worries. It's such a badass blade. So happy I bought it for my friend. Buy it.

The blade is very close to 3/16" , I think close to 5mm if you prefer metric, so pretty thick. It is made of stainless steel too just in case you were wondering.

Just measuring a 7-1/4" Blade at max Depth it looks like 2-7/16". I haven't tried to cut anything thicker than that and then measure the cut to know more accurately.

the blade length is 7.5 in the over all is 13.75 in the thickness is .25 in. I have a few knifes this one is beefier then my keybar I would have no second thouts about using it in a way you should never use a knife. ex cutting down a 3-4 in tree. stabbing a hole in light metal. on that not like all tools it is made with a use in mind. I know first hand that the blade is extremely sharp 5 stitches and 18 day in when i should have used a smaller knife. in note for combat/ servile A++++ but as a EDC or conceal carry D if that. Hope I helped good luck

The blade is 1 1/2" wide at the widest part of the cutting area, somewhat concave and, in my estimation, is sturdy enough to outlast me, my son, and his kids. I don't know how to figure thickness without a measuring tool but tend to expect my tools to stand up to hard use. Hint: I misplace tools in the garden way too often so have begun wrapping a strip of that bright pink Duck tape on handles - it helps.

(Sheepishly), I haven't used mine yet. But, I did go out and take a measurement for you. It should go down approximately 3.5". Now, the actual cutting blade isn't very wide (possible 1/16" > 1/8" wide), so you may have to make multiple "cuts" depending on the diameter of your wire. Hope this helps.
