Is is possible to cut material on a mitre saw like this that is "irregular or odd shaped", such as small burlwood?

It depends upon the size of your odd shaped piece of wood and the angle cut you want.

Sorry, I won't attempt to answer this as I have not yet had the challenge to work with anything irregular......But optimistic as I am, I guess you can, depending on the size of the piece you are working with....

As with any saw , there are limits to how small you can go before it gets into the dangerous area. if it's odd shaped you may wan to clamp it to prevent it from kicking out on you. That being said , It's powerful enough to go through 2x4's, and trim work . If the parts are that small , you may want to consider a scroll saw. Hope that helps

You could put a metal cutting blade and use it that way, I think you could use this with wood cutting blade. The blades can be found at most home centers, there isn't specific part number, just have a 1" arbor.

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

Yes, but maybe you will find a little a problem to make the pipe properly hold in the saw. Get a miter saw if you going to cut PVC.

Yes, make sure you get the right blade for it. If it is the thick metal plates, a standing band saw may be better though!

A circular saw (or SkillSaw) would rip it to pieces! I used a razor knife that had an extendable blade. It's a very soft material that can crumble easily

The miter fence is a little wonky. You should build a miter sled. Then it will make beautiful cuts.

I agree with the others. Unless you only need to cut 1 or 2 pieces to length, I would use a power miter saw.

A section of old hack saw blade will work well. If necessary one could use a knife if nothing else is available. I prefer not to use my knife in such a way.

I used a back saw from my miter box, but any fine toothed saw (like a hack saw) should work just fine. Good luck.

Sorry but I did not use this blade on a mitre saw it was installed on a De Walt radial arm crosscut saw. The performance is such that I cannot find fault. Quiet, vibration free, ultra sharp after thousands of cross cuts on soft fuzzy woods. Hard and dense material results in mirror finish cuts. My guess is that it will work just fine on a mitre saw

I highly doubt it, but if so it would take a long time to do so. But in defense of the saw, such cuts are not the intended purpose of this saw. This saw is intended for smaller cuts in tight spaces where boards need to be cut flush. For the cuts you are doing you should use either a table saw or a circular saw. Preferably the table saw.

See Jane's answer. While the saw wasn't made for that purpose, with the correct blade, it should not be a problem.

I wouldn't hesitate to try it. The cut is very close. The blade is thinner than most saw blades. It is flexible so you can get it to lie flush against the surface. There is a medium tooth side and a fine tooth side. You may require a tad of sanding or a sharp razor knife to finish if there is a splinter left. edit: I see the suggestion that it may be too large for flush cutting. I would say that all depends on how tight your work space is. I have cut many delicate materials with this saw and it does everything I've ever tried t on. That said, if you have a huge saw budget, get as many saws as you wnat. This one does a lot for one tool. I wouldn't hesitate to try it. The cut is very close.

Perhaps with a precision cut. Unless it's a straight clean precise cut, I wouldn't recommend it. Thanks,Madeline

All I can tell you is it works great on my table saw. I don't see why it wouldn't work on your mitre saw.

YES--but if you look in the owners there are Instructions on how to by pass the safety which defeats the purpose of the saw .In my opinion you shouldn't be using a quality saw to cut this type of wood on a Quality Saw, use a skil saw!!!
