Will this blade cut metal as found on cargo containers sides and ceiling?

I've only used my VersaCut for wood projects but have found the company's Customer Service Dept. to be very helpful!

The RW9231 blade is a rough cut blade for wood. If you need to cut metal, you need the RW9228 diamond grit blade.

I cut 1/8 inch thick aluminum with mine......slow cut and applied oil but did the job

Ed. I would go to the Rockwell site and ask them that question direct. I think you would get a more knowledgable answer than someone's opinion.

It does have a metal blade so it could dig in and damge a deck. On my deck I use a shovel with a plastic blade.

While I have not tried to cut metal with this saw, I think I'm safe saying the blades are for wood. Just as there are different blades for power saws cutting metal, I'm sure the regular blade would need to be replaced in the Stanley. I would not buy this saw to cut metal.

Yes, with the right blade. We use it to cut GluLams and it does it with ease.

With the correct blade I think it would. Remember the cost of the drill. I would try it for light work. No I Beams.

Yes. Start with the center panels and work your way outwards, then you can run a utility knife along the ceiling and wall where the outside edge of the panels are too long. If you have a new blade you will get a beautiful edge.

depends on the sawblade you use. with the right blade it does cut steel, probably not thicker than 1/8 of an inch. be careful!

it does a nice job 0n lite to medium steel and wood, pretty sure it will cut plastic.

Yes. It says sharp much longer than a typical metal blade. About 10x longer from my experience.

Miguel, I bought this blade for cutting hardwood for a floor. Have not tried it on aluminum. I have cut aluminum in the past and liked to use a non carbide blade (fine tooth) and installed backwards so the teeth do not rip the metal up. Hope this is of some help. Brian

I do not recommend this for any metal cutting at all. If you have PVC conduit it might cut it but I think a hack saw, jig saw or sawzall would be a better tool for cutting conduit. This Makita blade does a fine job with wood products up to about 3/8 inch thick.

I will double check the one I have at work. I know it cuts both non ferrous metal and plastic.

Honestly don't know but I tried a cheap blade from Harbor Freight on my VersaCut and it worked fine.

Yes the blade will work the slanted tip of the, blade gives you a much better cut.

No! This blade is not designed to cut through any type of metal. There are specific blades designed for metal cutting, although I'm not sure if Freud offers any.

Yes, but only very thin such as sheet metal for duct work etc. This might not be fair as I do not have a fine tooth blade for metal but the one that came with it did work altho I would not recommend it for that. Note: if you need replacement blades be sure to get right ones...few fit it. Jack

From What I can see when I look at mine I don't believe so. It certainly doesn't sound like it has metal collection blades.
