Could this cut through 1 1/2" plywood?

I'm sure it could. I've cut through 2 x 4 stock (which is 1 1/2" thick) many years ago with a very muchlower powered and lighter weight jig saw. Just go slowly, use a sharp blade, and let the saw do the workwithout forcing the cut.

Yes. Chief jd's advice re being patient and letting the saw do the work is spot on. Set the speed fairly high. 5+ should do it. Don't be too aggressive with the orbit of the blade. If you are cutting across the grain be sure to score your cut line with a razor knife. This will help prevent splintering of the top layer of veneer.

to be honest i dont think it's cut much of anything i tried to just simply cut alittle in to a 1/4in plywood and the thing frieded on me. if it cant cut something that simple i dont think there is much anything else it can cut well other then pvc maybe

No, It won't cut anything thicker than 1/16". I have cut plastic and fabric with mine.

The maximum cutting depth of this saw is 3/4". It would not be able to cut a 2x2.

I doubt it. It cuts wood branches nicely up to 1 inch but struggles beyond that.

Renee, I have not used my saw to cut plexiglass but I would think with a fine toothed blade the saw would do the job. I don't think I would try it with the wood cut blades. Good luck.

Sorry not sure.... a 1/2 inch isn't really too much though i would think it would still work

I'm sure it would work, but because of amount of material needing to be cleared out, especially with 3/4" lumber, I think the 1/2" bit would be the safest route to go.

if your table saw can cut 3-1/8" with a 10 inch blade, it can only cut to 2-1/8" with this blade, simple math

While I'm sure that it would cut plexi-glass, this blade was designed for use on plywood and performance could not be guaranteed.

I have not cut a board that big with the saw. It will cut a 2 x 10 without any problem.

No this can't make 1/2" holes. Without the sleeves it looks like the maximum would be 7/16ths.

Pierce, yes it can, with some care! Makita makes a small plastic insert (comes with the tool) that clips in around the blade within the foot plate. This largely eliminates chipping. I also made a four-foot guide out of angle aluminum (created a channel for both sides of the tool) that enabled me to make reasonably accurate cuts across a sheet of plywood. Am very happy with my Makita!

It would probably cut foam board without a problem, but the 3/16 measurement might be difficult to manage since the paper cutter has a half inch grid.

It's a great tool, but I dont know that Id try and cut through .75" of material.. I cut 1/4" mdf core birch ply and it was pretty great but slow.. It is however a fantastic versatile tool.. And highly recommend it to anyone.

Yes it can. I had to for my installation. It is somewhat hard to measure but cuts with a hack saw.

The chuck only goes up to 1",but a bit for hole cutting should do it and go through 2"
