Would this cut through steel (Not to thick steel) with the write cutting wheel?

AS long as you use the metal discs you should have no problem. I was cutting cement with a cement blade with no problem.

my husband said yes it would but to take your time and if it starts heating up to stop and let it cool off then finish if it's real thick. he has cut 1/4 inch with no problem or heating up.

oh yea, it slices right through with a cutting wheel, thats what angle grinders do

Yes it will cut steel or aluminum. A regular wood cutting chop/miter saw will cut aluminum . We cut thousands of pieces of aluminum both ways

Not as far as i know, If your cutting steel i dont think its strong enough, on wood it might hold up ok.

This jigsaw is powerful enough to handle almost anything you throw at it, but the real question here would be is there a metal cutting blade strong enough to cut tool steel. You would need a proper clamp setup and constant coolant and lubrication to cut tool steel in the first place. As most good jigsaw blades are already high speed tool steel. I think it can be achieved, but if not executed properly you will probably just burn up a ton of bits and be left frustrated by such a task. I wouldn't recommend using any jigsaw to do such a task anyway. But it could be done if you need to do small amounts without great accuracy as a proper machinist would only use a saw to rough cut materials

No. I don't think so. I use it for rolls of thin paper to cover tables with. I would not use it for precise cutting.

We haven't tried that... but it can cut thick plastic, such as credit card thickness. No thin metal here to try cutting.

It would depend on how hard the metal is. I was able ti cut through a steel refrigerator door hinge, but it didn't do well. Softer metals like aluminum have been no problem though.

Definitely aluminum, with the right blade. Steel I haven't tried and can't speak to. I'd look up 10" blades that cut steel and if they're compatible with the saw (a hook angle of 5 degrees or less, a 3/8" arbor, an adequate rpm, which I'd have to check...) it should do fine. It's more about the blade and speed than the other components of the saw. FWIW, I love this saw, several years into owning it.

If you get a GOOD quality blade for metal and variable power switch you can cut steel. I use mine to cut circular saw blades for knife blanks

Yes, this device will more than handle any cut through wood. For a tougher metal cut however you may need to put a high speed steel or carbide bit into it. Different style cutting tools will be needed for the various cuts you're talking about. I would recommend eye/ face protection; this product it's very powerful.

Yes. It has the speed adjutment and power needed. I use it more for cutting steel than wood. Designed more for serious DIYer than commercial use, however.

What it can cut depends on the bit you use. I would not think that this is the best choice for steel door frames, but then again I am a woodworker and do not even know what is available for metal working, just out of my area.

The Weiss RS Models cut through harder metals.http://www.wisstool.com/product/dsp_product_detail.cfm?hier=602&pf;=210&upc;=037103580191

Yes I belive so but it will take time and lots of work, it has no edge at all. You could easily mess it up if you don't know what your doing. You would have to start with a file not a sharpening stone.

Yes this will. I use these to cut leather. Of course you'll have to use shorter strokes to cut through it. And since my pieces that I make are smaller, I mostly use the 2 smaller knives.

I have only used them on softer metals (copper, aluminum), so I have no personal experience with steel, but as they are diamond files, they should work on any metal (harder metals will just take longer to file).

I don't think it would cut very well. It has a magnetic strip on the inside that is glued on so you would have to cut through that. The other material is a very hard plastic that might splinter
