how does it do on plywood

It does very well on plywood. No tear out on the bottom. I used it for a bookcase with mahogany ply and I could adjust the width precisely.

This dado set works well on plywood. This is the 4th dado set I have owned........it is configured the same as a much more expensive brand, which carries a premium price as well. This one leave crisp edges and flat bottoms in the groove. Make sure to set the teeth in the chippers in a staggered way to avoid hogging out too much wood and putting extra strain on the motor of your saw. This is a great set for the money! If I were needing to purchase a new set, I would buy this one again!

This set does very well on both plywood and hardwood. I take a slightly smaller "bite" on plywood as a precaution but I've never encountered any significant splintering or tearout.

I have used this on plywood on several occasions with great results. With the four blade inserts and the 24 tooth outer blades I have had no complaints on any material I have used this on. I have used it several times a week for around two years and the carbide still looks great. It is by far the best dado set I have used in my 25+ years of woodworking. I would buy it again without question. Good luck.

Works great on plywood. I used it to make a wall cabinet. The carcase was Oak faced plywood and I had no splintering at all. Very clean dados.

I had some extra scraps and tested this on plywood for you. It sticks. Remember it's repositionable so you can easily move it once it's applied but you would have to move it intentionally in order to get it off of the plywood. In other words, it won't slip. I can't say enough good things about this product.

I cut openings for plugins through paneling, I also ran a new wire from the breaker box. I encountered stud braces (2x4) unexpectedly and was able to notch out for the wire to pass through the 2x4 brace. I took my time and applied steady light pressure. I really like this tool and use it a lot. You should be able to cut plywood, with patience. Ripping for any distance would not work, but making small cuts should go well.

Greetings Pierce, good questions, but sorry to say I have no idea. It cuts several layers of denim-type fabric (that frays easily) without jamming on the frayed bits (unlike Black and Decker electric scissors!!), and cuts card and stiff plastic etc. but not sure it would be powerful enough to cut plywood. Ciao for Now, Tricia, Bermuda : )

i dont have any but it is fine on hard wood and tile. i imagine it would be fine on linoleum.

I've only had it up from 1 week but I had to re-position it on painted plywood and it didn't damage anything. Not sure if it's left up for an extended amount of time if it would cause damage

While I have not tried exactly what you are asking, I think you'll have to shave off the corners of a sheet of plywood. Good Luck

I think its just a very sturdy plywood. Its very heavy and durable. We've never had problems with the balls bouncing off it or it breaking in anyway.

Hello Angel. Yes. I cut through 3/4" thick TREATED plywood, which is a really dense and heavy plywood because of all the chemicals in it. Treated plywood also tends to hold more moisture than regular plywood, at times it even feels damp to the touch, and two sheets stacked together with out some kind of divider between them will actually "sweat". So I really thought I would have had a problem cutting it, but this tool did great. Just make sure you use the cutter that is specifically for wood. With the correct bit you should be able to cut through any thickness of plywood. Hardwood may cause problems if you cut anything thicker than 3/4". I have not tried it in a full 1" thick hardwood board; as I have only cut ply. Just take your time, don't rush the cuts and clean them out often if you are making thin and curved cuts. If there is a high moisture content in the ply, the sawdust will build up in the cuts. I just repass the bit along the inside of the cut and the spinning bit can be used to clean the area. Please protect your eyes, wear goggles -- I tend to lean down really close to the area as I cut as my eyes are old and getting bad! Good luck with your project -- oh and this tool can be used just like a small dremmel brand tool. I needed to cut some really big nails out of some old wood and I tried one of my metal cutting disk from my dremmel and it worked great. So you can use this for a lot of different things.

I use it to get through 3/4 inch plywood when making bean bag boards. That is the max. It does a great job. Make sure to use a powerful drill and hang on tight with two hands.

We used 1/2 in plywood and it cut nice. I do not think you would have any problems with oak.

Depends on the moisture content of the plywood. Low moisture and low quality plywood will chip out and should be taped with a high quality autobody masking tape before cutting. This will reduce chip out!

Have this on floating floor second level. It works well for me. pretty good considering I got thin hardwood. For the price it is A great deal. I used the styrofoam time for another project and this is way better.

Plywood? Definitely.Anything tougher, like a two by four, would probably do some harm to the tang.I'Ve used cork board to practice trust aim, and there's no wear at all.

I think as long as the platform is solid it's fine. Mine is on a platform of 3/4 plywood.

I have it on plywood since it is a bunk bed and it works great so I would say no.

I have not tried to produce a smooth chip-free cut in plywood but I have used it to cut glass by taping the glass where i needed to score it and got a good straight edge. I have used it to score tile to tile floors. To cut straight edges you cold clamp something with a straight edge and cut next to it. Sorry I do not have experience with plywood.
