If using this for pumpkin carving, do I still need to purchase a saw separately? Or is there something included that I can use?

I would not recommend this tool for pumpkin carving. The blades are too small & sharp- unless, of course, your daughter is maybe, say, a teenager- but teven so- these blades, if not exteremly careful- can produce quite the deep cut into a finger or hand. You would need to purchase a saw, if you continued to attempt to use them. They are blades ( small- -like the size of pen & ink nibs-) and the handle.

The saw does not come with bar and chain oil, you will need to purchase it yourself.

I'm sorry, but Woodcraft does not sell the handle separately. But one does come with the saw.

The saw comes assembled. It does not do well for cutting picture frame corners because you cannot clamp the moulding tight enough to keep it from slipping while you are sawing. Also it is difficult to repeat the same measurement. I quit using the saw I bought for these reasons and went to Lowes and purchased a Skill Mitre Saw that works perfectly. I did have to invest in a 10" 100 tooth carbide blade that makes perfect cuts on all types of moulding. Hope this helps. I have been a professional framer for 44 years.

You just need to get those "T" jigsaw blades. They can be found at almost all stores that have a hardware dept...Walmart has them. That's why I like this tool because it is so easy to use and no special blades. Thanks!

Really depends on what you'll be doing with it. I looked at sliding saws too, and just couldn't come to terms with paying the money. If you're planning on just cutting 2x4s or 2x8's etc you'll be fine.

Well, I don't really understand the ?, but using chain saws with this horse is a kinda iffy business. Are U carving a totem pole?

I'm the wife...yes, you have to have a large enough saw or you're out of luck. It's one of the easiest tools to use and we put up "miles" of molding using ours. But we did have to buy a new saw in order to cut the large pieces of molding. It isn't very sturdy, but it works beautifully if you follow directions. I notice one of the other folks answered you in detail. Pay attention to what ginomari had to say. It does work.

No. Only the 10" blade cartridge comes with the saw. The 8" dado cartridge is extra and is more expensive. (about $90) If you put the dado set in the machine, it will not run unless you also put in the proper cartridge.

Mine only came with the cutting tool. I had to buy the embosser and other tools seperately.

John, there is no saw blade. It is a good utility tool for me around the ranch. A saw blade is probably not something I would use. Cheers, Terry

i have been carving since 1974 and have used many different types of carving tools, and the finest by far are the flexcut tool. in this set of four you will have a standard knife, a chip carving knife and a couple smaller ones for detailing. these are about all the knives you will need. i also own a couple of different sets of the flexcut gouges. hope this helps you out.

my kit came with a masonry blade, okayto use, but i would get the homedepot tile saw, the cheap one, for cutting multiple tile

I think you can use a diamond bit masonary blade that should be able do the job. Take it slow when you are cutting.

Yes ~ just the kind of task the saw was designed to handle.You might like to invest in longer blades but you can use theblade that comes with the saw and simply cut from both directions.This is a worthy saw and you'll like your purchase and will find manyuses.

Sounds like you need a hand held Porta-Band Saw. If it is something that will get occasional use, I would get one from Harbor Fright for $83. or spend $200+ for a better model if used often. Try Craigslist for tools as well http://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DWM120K-5-Inch-Deep-Portable/dp/B001W0ZIK4/ref=sr_1_2?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1410122715&sr=1-2&keywords=portable+bandsaw

Yes! I just used a quick and easy skill saw. It's too thick to cut with scissors.. if that's what you're wondering.
