Will this cut through 1/2" mild steel plate?

I have only used on sheet metal and no more than 1/4 " works great. 1/2 would probably wear at batteries pretty quick and progress would be slow.

I have only cut standard-weight stained glass and glass tiles with this tool. I'm guessing that it might not be effective on anything heavier.

Sorry not sure.... a 1/2 inch isn't really too much though i would think it would still work

cuts up to 5/16" with a very smooth edge, I've cut 5/8" steel but it leaves a rough edge

No problem on 1/2" plywood. Fully adjustable for wood thickness, plate size, and angle. This is a professional grade plate joiner.

Yes, without any trouble. I use it to cut through rose quartz. I wouldn't want to cut up sheet metal with it, but for nails or small bits it should be fine.

I think i saw a blade that leaves 1/2". That would probably work. That blade that comes with it leaves about 1/4" or less.

It depends on how thick your decking planks are. The blade has a maximum cutting depth of 1 1/16". Anything over that won't be cut.

No. It doesn't have the power to go through steel. It is for small thin materials only.

Patti... I have never cut steel any thicker than 1/2 inch. Cutting tip works well for this. ~~don ~~

I don't think the cutter would work for thin (or thick) sheet metal. Even if it cut into the metal, as soon as it went through one of the cutting blades would snag and rip the metal sheet.

it should. but if your blade doesn't go all the way through, just flip the top over and finish the cut from the bottom.

Depends on the type of material. It may, for example, cut 1" thick aluminum but definitely not 1" thick steel (mild or hard).

You can raise the blade level more than 1 inch so it would fit. Based on that I would think it would cut glass that thick. It is very sharp and if you take the time I believe it would do the job. However I have never tried to cut anything that thick.

I have not had a need to cut steel pipe however I am sure it would cut through with the correct blade. Not the blade it comes with.

I Would say no. I bought this drill for wood and heavy kydex but i would say it dosent have enough power to drill half inch steel.

Not sure how thick the plates were that I cut, but they cut better than anything else I have ever used for glass. I have cut mostly plates, and I'm sure they aren't 3/8" thick. Thats almost 1/2". Pretty thick for nippers. I would think a tile saw might be best for that size.
