Has anyone tried using this to cut hinge mortise slots into doors?

Sort of. I used it to cut out the slot for the door knob's latch plate, opposite of hinge. It wasnt very successful on the cardboard-like material that it was made of. No clean edges and difficult to control. I had to clean it up with a chisel. It may work better on a real wood door, but since you dont want to mess that up, you should just do it right.

Yes, I was doing that yesterday with cheap 7mm laminate!The blade acts equally over the whole surface of the laminate, so the wider the piece (or if you cut at an angle), then the harder work it is to cut.

I've used this blade to trim down hollow core doors with perfect results. Make sure to use a staightedge. Also you might want to wear a dust mask, the composite material tends do make really fine dust.

I would not recommend this. It is not air tight, and cutting through a sliding glass door does not sound like a reasonable plan, in any case. But feel free to try it, it's just my 2 cents!

I've only used it on doors where there is cement and they work great, as long as there's a gap at the bottom when the door is opened. If you have two or 3 hinges on the door you can hook the stopper on the hinge and it will keep the door open. It may work on hardwood if there is about an inch gap on the bottom, then the wedge can be positioned so the rubber edge makes contact with the hardwood.

I haven't tried that, but I doubt it, since this scores ceramic tiles... It doesn't really cut through them.Vinyl tiles you be better off using a sharp Stanley knife

This tool is NOT designed for that kind of cutting. It is designed to flush cut door bottoms ,door trim, etc. When you need to raise the floor with carpet or tile, you must trim the bottoms so the door will open or the tile will slide under under. the jambs . This blade has a heavy spline on it and will not work like a circular saw. It is a special purpose tool. You might find a cabinet shop that will cut them for you for a few bucks. Much easier solution. Good luck.

I used this tool to undercut the door frame and cut molding for around the door frame. It worked great! Wishing you success.

Yes. I use it for armour builds and have had no trouble cutting the thicker interlock mats. The blade is fully adjustable.

yes, i have used it to cut hardwood flooring when installing a floor level threshold to an exising floor. You do have to use a guide for a perfectly straight cut

I have not tried it. The blade is small, so you would definitely want to cut up the pieces into small bits.

I have only used mine for a short period of time, I trimmed out a couple doors inside and out and it seemed to work just perfect.

I am not sure what a mortise lock is but it works on a standard deadbolt configuration. Hope this helps.

No! You have to take the door down & cut a mortise in the bottom & it is not seen from inside or outside. I have done dozens of them as a contractor (carpenter by trade) & they are not easy for a novice to do! Need all the right tools!

Yes. This would work well for that purpose assuming the front or back surface of the door is flush with the door trim.

I cannot answer your specific question for sure since I used it only for repairing my sagging wooden gates. My hunch is that if the diameter of some object is few inches or more, the saw probably would work. But, if something that is not thick nor fixed in place, this saw would not work because the serration of the saw "teeth" is very coarse; using such a saw would be a challenge to cut where you want to successfully.
