What thickness of metal stock can this saw handle?
2081908
Currently, the saw has only been tested cutting metal pipe up to 1" in diameter.

It's literally 1/4" steel stock that has been ground down into a knife. If you have the strength to use it, it should work. You are going to break before it will.

I really couldn't say for sure. However, the holes in the removable rails seem to have a rather flexible arrangement to allow for other brand saws to be used. You may want to download the instructions from the DeWalt website to see if dimensions are available.

Definitely aluminum, with the right blade. Steel I haven't tried and can't speak to. I'd look up 10" blades that cut steel and if they're compatible with the saw (a hook angle of 5 degrees or less, a 3/8" arbor, an adequate rpm, which I'd have to check...) it should do fine. It's more about the blade and speed than the other components of the saw. FWIW, I love this saw, several years into owning it.

This is a hack saw that is used for metal. Since you need one to cut light weight wood such as bass wood, poplar or pine check out the Stanley 20-221 mini utility saw. This kind of saw would be good for wood probably less than 1/2" thick. If you want to cut thicker wood check out the cross cut saws. They all are rated not just by length but by the number of points (PTS). The more points the finer the cut, it also means it will take longer to cut through the wood. If you are doing modeling type of work you can use several different types of saws but if you just want to cut straight a dovetail saw may help, there are also gent saws a smaller version. If need to cut circular patterns a coping saw or the lighter weight fret saw may be what you need. I realize that you only asked a simple question and I, obviously, gave a very long answer but I don't know exactly what you want to cut so I apologize. It just may be the first two options should be the choice to make.

We use a Freud SD208 in our table saws which have a 5/8" arbor - these can be stacked up to 7/8" but remember your caution from Dewalt about the thickness. The Oldham we only use in one application. I would suggest staying with the 8" size.

I primarily use this saw for glass. I have used it on copper bar that was .37" thick. The saw really didn't like doing it. It is under powered for use with metal or thick materials and for production work it would be nearly useless. It is a craft saw (which means toy). It works great on glass, tile, and thin wood. But it sounds like you are going to need a machine that has more power. I have thought that a ring saw might have been a better idea. Good Hunting.

I didn't try to cut metal but I doubt it will since RPM on this saw not that high, depends what gage is metal as well but it's a great saw to cut thick wood it's easily cut 6-6 post

It would be the distance from the saw blade to the saw bracket above the saw. Estimate six inches. However, that said it could cut this thickness provided the saw blade doesn't break and your arm can push and pull the saw that long.

It will handle 2" stock, but I not sure if they will open up to 3 1/2". The clamps are @ a different location so I can't measure them.

Depends on the pitch of your current chain if it's 3/8 or.325 . Itis stamped on your current bar close to where it is bolted to the saw

Depends on the set, number (TPI) and spacing of the teeth on your blade. I like mine. But I think the max is 2 inches and I would not try that with hardwood. For a thick cut I would want maybe an 8 TPI skip tooth with a wide set as to make the saw kerf wide to reduce pinching

I have never measured blade thickness but it is close to 1/32". Flexing of the blade shouldn't be a problem since it is designed to cut on the pull stroke. I have enjoyed using mine. It leaves a much smoother cut edge than traditional push stroke saws (even the Gentleman's Dovetail saw). Hope this helps.

On mine with an extra plate about 1/4" thick fastened to the fence for extra height, I can set the fence face 3 1/2" from the centerline of the mortising drill and chisel. So I can work to the center of a 7" wide piece of stock. I usually have it set pretty close and generally work to the center of a 3/4" thick piece.

The length between the blade and the wood is one and a half inches. So that is the max thickness you can have. You can make it as thin as you want.

Not as equipped. I constructed an auxiliary fence that holds the stock at the 45 degrees. It is actually more of an additional table rather than a fence with a strip on the bottom to be placed in the miter slide groove and then I use two small machinist clamps to hold it in place. This saw is much more stable and with far less blade wobble than any other out there. Good luck. If I can be of further assistance just ask.
