I need this to hold a 3/8 inch metal rod and smaller, to be cut. Would this be helpful?

I have used it and a dremel tool to shorten /cut small diameter bolts. It closes very precisely. 3/8" rod should be no sweat

Should be fine, hack saw. I expanded mine to fit a wider need using a metal rod inside the cannulation of the bottom part. Good luck, measure twice, cut once.

I am sure it would. If not, it would be super easy to cut down the inside rod if you needed an inch or two off. I have been using the product for over a year and it has held up very well, btw.

It appears on mine that the rod and the two end pieces are separate pieces, so yes, I think you could cut the rod to the size you want (if you know how to do that). Mine looks very nice, by the way.

Haven't tried anything smaller than 1/8" but I would guess it can handle smaller bits.

don't know why you would want the expense or trouble. I suppose if you are a metal cutter, the rod could be shortened

It'll be tight... thats what I use it for. If you shop around you can find looser holders. Another thing is you wanna use a plastic or carbon fiber holder, as the metal ones will scratch it.

no way, this is good for a few inches in awkward places when other tools won't do. if your doing more than taking out a few inches, find something else.

3" diameter will be close. if it was slightly smaller, even by a little I think you'd be fine.

I am using it with 1" rods but like the previous poster said, this should work without issue. The screw size is the same, this corner piece might just look a little bigger with the 3/4" rod and not as "seamless" as it does with the 1".

Don't think the shank will fit a 3/8" chuck. This unit is designed to be used with 1/2" chuck. Additionally, depending on the material you are cutting you sould be using an 18-volt drill to achieve maximum power under pressure.

Yes Ma'am, but pay close attention to the diameter of the cutter so that you dont get one that is too big or too small. It is made for making connecting joints on rough wood. Also, the ability to clamp the pieces while you work on them is important as well.

No, I doubt it. I would say the materials you mentioned are much to thick. It would however work for a variety of things no thicker than about 1/8 in thickness.

It might, but it's not really built for that kind of duty. It's more for 3/8" and 1/4" size fasteners in my opinion.

I use it to cut 2-7/8" galvanized steel schedule 80 round pipe. There is a less expensive model at Home Depot that will do pvc pipe just fine.

yes with no problem.... you would need to use a straight cut bit, 1/4" or maybe even a little smaller 1/8" just take it easy and it would work fine.. you can do some amazing things with this tool.... you ought to see some of the artwork I have done with it.....

You certainly could use this to cut out a small section of plywood, but if you are talking about slicing off big pieces then you are better off using a circular saw or something else bigger.
