does it work on 3/4" hardwood and 12mm bamboo wood

We have only used it on pine, so far. It does seem powerful enough to use on any wood. We have been very pleased with it.

If the bamboo is not thick, it should work fine. I have used it on mostly on oak, which is a hardwood, and it cuts right through as long as the limb is not too thick, less than 5 inches or so.

While I have not used it in that manner, it should work. It leaves a nice pale stain that allows the wood grain to show through. I have had good results with it. That said, I would test it on a piece of scrap wood first.

Yes, I have a black and decker with a 3/8" chuck and works great. I have little to no wood working skills and this tool made me feel like a pro. Great choice, have fun!

I cut thought 3/4 inch hardwood composit. It took some effort and a strong drill but it worked.

Yes you can use this gun on 5/8 Bamboo flooring. I've personally used this gun on flooring as thin as 5/16" but have not gone any thicker than 5/8". I would not suggest using it on 3/4" flooring however. This gun is perfect for engineered products, thinner depth hard woods or certain laminates. On a 3/4" flooring best to upgrade to a heavy duty flooring gun.

Yes. I used it to install 3/8 bamboo. Manufacturer said only to use 18 gauge L cleats. I believe it will work for your floors too.

I have cut 3/4 inch red oak with mine.... Try different speeds to see what works best for you....

It specifies the hard-to-find 7/32" crown staples, but I have run a couple of boxes of 1/4" crown ones through it with no problems. It should work fine for Bamboo--just be sure to set the blocks for the thickness & depth of drive carefully.

It works very well on either. I have dedicated mine to a 4" makita and am very pleased with the tool. Hope it helps

We were using the 1 1/2" tenon cutter on logs which were 3" and smaller in diameter, and it worked fantastic. I don't know about logs any larger though.

I don't think it would matter since it clamps down fairly tight and shouldn't move. I have used it on pieces less than 4 feet with no problem. The excess just juts out from the wood.

Hi Matt, So far, only on pine in which it worked quite well. I imagine it will work on oak & other hardwoods, but with more effort and care.

This product is excellent and very easy to use. It will work on anything that is wood.

It varies with the type of wood, blade and feed speed. In hardwood, 3/4" is no problem, but 1" is probably pushing it. In soft pine/spruce I've cut 1 1/2" with a slow feed and no problems. In a material like Balsa it will cut whatever thickness you can fit under the blade holder. Be aware the thicker the material, the slower the speed & feed rate and the coarser the tooth count on the blade. It really comes down to blade type, motor speed and feed. I like the Olsen and Flying Dutchman blades.

Yes, it's designed for 3/4" holes. In a 3/4" hole it's a little loose so if you have a drill bit just a tiny bit smaller (probably metric), try that. It's much more stable. BTW, the things work beautifully if the piece you're holding has flat edges. If they're rounded at all, the work piece will jump all over the place.

Depends on thickness and type of wood. 1/4"? Yes. 1/2" pine? Sure. 3/4" hardwood? Not easily. A small job could likely be done with just a rotary tool like a dremel or rotozip
