Would it cut conduit good?

It would cut conduit just fine, but I feel it would be overkill. Conduit would cut just as easily with a jigsaw and it would be easier to handle. However, the Sawzall will do way more than a jigsaw on lots of other jobs. I've used mine to cut 2" steel tubing, tree limbs, and hardiboard, and to cut saddles in two to make wall hangings.

Yes it cuts conduit pretty well, however depending on the type of conduit you are cutting would determine the type of blade you need to use.

Not a good choice because you would break or have to utilize a number of the etch type bits to complete this heavier type job. Standard straight bit will cut, but take a lot to do it with the smaller bits!! Regular standard size bits and router for best and safest cutouts. Good Luck!

The answer to both the questions is yes . Use a hole saw for the conduit connector and the mounting to the pole can be done us an back plate or drill a hole through the box .

It could cut through them. I guess you would want to use a "wood" blade. How thick they are and how much effort it has to take to cut them will determine how long you can run it. I use it for PVC pipes to give you a reference point (if that helps)

Yes - but it wouldn't be super secure. It's not a very thick wire. It could easily be cut.

Yes that is what I used it on to cut some cut lines on pavement. About 8 feet worth 2 inches thick. Made a shallow cut then finished with the full depth cut. No water needed.... I only had to knockout the center hole to fit my circular saw.

Perhaps. You would have to use some kind of saw to do so. But it's not too thick to cut.

You are correct that these use standarad pipe threads. I would not use conduit since it is not rigid enough. I chose to use galvanized pipe. It was actually a few cents per foot cheaper than the black pipe at Lowes. Also, I purchase three 10 foot sections, had it cut to the lengths I needed and then threaded on both ends to permit joining sections with a coupler to exend the reach as needed. Lowes does not charge for cutting and threading. Why 10 foot secitons? Less expensive than buying standard shorter lengths and I was able to determin the lenghts I would need for my projects.

I do not recommend this for any metal cutting at all. If you have PVC conduit it might cut it but I think a hack saw, jig saw or sawzall would be a better tool for cutting conduit. This Makita blade does a fine job with wood products up to about 3/8 inch thick.

No. This will not bend conduit / hollow metal pipe. It will only bend solid metal.

To be honest, I couldn't say. It's pretty stiff and I don't think it's very forgiving at making sharp turns. Because of it's stiffness, I think it could damage typical rain gutter drains. You mention downspouts, so I gather we're talking light-gauge galvanized steel. The big worry is that the wire probe on the end is ideal for getting snagged on hidden parts. It is so stiff and strong, that you might have to tear down a downspout to clear it out. All things considered, I would not use this product again. One thing; if you do use it, be sure to cut-off the probe on the end. By just using a strait bit of wire at the end, bent into a hook-shape, it would probably be just as effective with clogs and MUCH easier to force back out. I learned this one the hard way....a very expensive call to a plumber.

Yes, it is easy to cut. Make sure you consider the length. You may need more than one.

The crimper tightens to the right amount - not to tight not too loose. Wirecutters I imagine you would have to guess if you got it tight enough. Personally I wouldn't risk it - I mean you wouldn't want one of these connections to leak behind a wall or something.

Probably!You'd have to a very large pipe of course.Drilling holes in PVC can get messy and might ruin eqpt as the plastic melts on the saws.I made a flower tower using chicken wire and weed fabric.

They'd certainly cut the wire, but it would really depend on the gauge you're cutting I guess. I can't say with certain it would give you the smooth cut you're desiring though. Sorry . . .

I think it probably would, but don't overestimate the size / capacity of this conduit; it is very narrow, and the slit that allows you to put a cord or cable into it is also pretty thin. For example, it's probably suitable for one or two runs of telephone or speaker wire, and would accommodate a single Ethernet computer network cable, but not an extension cord or the like. Hope that helps.

It could work, but this saw is designed for cutting metal or PVC. I used it to cut copper pipe. The blade is thin and it broke after about 10 uses, but I was really hard on it. It did what I wanted it to though.
