Does anyone know what the kerf dimension is on this saw? I want to use it for fret slots on a guitar.

my digital calipers measure it at 0,5mm or 0.02 inches.... does a smooth job.

The kerf is too wide for guitar frets. I think you need about 0.023 inches for frets. I don't really know the exact kerf, but I would guess it's about 0.030 inches for this saw.

From what I could tell, by laying my S.A. on the one in the Wall Street Journal article it fits, for now. Dry measure my knife was 2.36, but I've had longer ones that would not make it. My saw blade is an rch from 3",sorryTSA(the stand around) people will be looking into how this will work out. But only in the USA at this time.You will not be "Boarding" over sea's, with a knife yet!

I"m not sure if its 5/8" exactly but I do know it more or less the standard size for 10" table saws. I put a 10" freud LU87 rip blade on and am impressed with the feedrate on some 3" x 4" ancient fence material that was in a barn for years which consist of Maple, Cherry, Beech, Red Oak and White Oak. Not a unisaw but impressive for a portable saw of that genre. Minumal burn marks and nice square cut.

For 4 to 6 inch thickness I would go with a bigger bandsaw. This will cut 4 inch stock ok but I cut a lot of exotics and the denser woods really slow this bandsaw down to where I wish I'd got a larger model. For 2 to 3 inch and a good blade it works good. I use it for cutting my lathe wood down to a rounded blank for turning.

Excellent with reservations , I bought mine specifically to do hand cut dove tails and was not disappointed. The saw kerf is extremely narrow. Just remember that you are limited in depth by the rib on the back. Should work for most cuts. It is quite light weight too, so go easy.

I just bought an 8" dado stack.. I read that this saw will not accept an 8". The saw is a ts2400-1. Is this true.

I sent mine back because it did not fit my jet 14 inch bandsaw. Wasn't as heavy duty as I expected either.

I measured the slots and here is what I came up with:3 @ 2"1 @ 2 1/8"2 @ 1 1/4"1 @ 1 1/2"2 @ 1"The scissor slot is 1 5/8" wideThe hole for the sharpening steel is 5/8" squareThese numbers are very precise. For instance, a 2 1/4" blade would not fit in the 2 1/8" slot. I have a combination of Shun, Wusthoff and Henckels knives in my block. Good luck!

Mine is currently in storage, but I believe the throat depth is 9-5/8". The 10" specification for this saw appears to refer to the throat cut depth, because the actual depth of cut (thickness) is only about 5", if I recall correctly. I miss using mine. Excellent tool for home (non-pro) use. I use mine to make guitars.

Hi - I cannot be certain as I don't know the footprint of your saw but I suspect it will work just fine. I put a 12" double bevel hitachi on it and it works fine. Seems to have a fair amount of flex in where you can move things to make the attachment work. Frankly though I might look for another brand if I were you. See my review in regard to factory workmanship, etc. I had real problems with this stand and had to send one back. Unfortunately the second one was damaged in the exact same way (factory production problem) and I had to fix it when I decided I was unwilling to go through yet another return. I had things to cut! Lol. Anyhow...it's an okay stand. But I stress 'okay.' Hi - I cannot be certain as I don't know the footprint of your saw but I suspect it will work just fine.

No. this is not a miter box saw. It has a stiffening bar on it as you can see. That stiffener will not fit in a miter box slot and you only have about 1.5 inches of depth of cut before you'd hit that stiffener bar. However, its a a good saw with many different uses (and it works very well for those uses) and I'm glad to have it. But its not a miter box saw.

It's just slightly wider than a standard 3/4" channel but, at least on my saw, not 7/8". I got an Incra adjustable width miter gauge for it that works great. The included gauge is a little loose in the track.

I use this for a Fender fretless and it fits perfectly. Not sure about your axe though!

I don't know. It barely works on my 8" obsolete table saw as I knew before I bought it. Need to measure table saw width and grip mechanism.

I don't know because I have a Skill table saw but as many of them are made in the same factory send me the length and width of the opening in the table top and I will measure mine and let you know if they are the same.

Mitchell, I am not sure of the maximum width this saw will cut. I know that we were cutting 6" x 4" angle in it with the corner of the angle in the vertical position. The rear "vise" section of the saw is adjustable forward and backwards to allow for larger pieces of steel. I can check it tomorrow and get back to you. I do know that this is one kick*** saw and am very pleased with it. I use another saw in my shop that I cut wider plate so this is why I am not sure about the maximum width. I will get back to you.

Yep, pretty sure there are three slots that handles 2 inches or more, one is for a cleaver, so its close to 3.5 inches.
