Can this saw cut intricate patterns in 1 3/8" to 1 3/4" hardwoods?

As noted by others, this saw isn't designed for intricate work. Even if it were, you would do better to avoid the risks inherent in using a high power saw of poor quality manufacture.

You can cut curves, circles, straight lines, etc, but you will need to turn your workpiece carefully so the blade follows without twisting. You may also need to use a narrower blade for very sharp curves or if you find your pattern is so intricate that you repeatedly backing up.

I doubt it. It is for light duty. For intricate patterns a scroll saw is what you want.

Probably not; the saw body is not svelte. The cut would be canted down toward the end of the blade. Best to just cut it level 1" off the deck, then use a grinder to get flush.

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

I think this should not be the purpose of such a saw... its blade is thin and my experience is that it has worked very well cutting up to 1 1/4",

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.

Sure, withthe proper blade it would be fine. Keep in mind that this type of saw is really not meant for a stright line cut and depending on the thickness of the material vs. the blade, the blade can wander off course.

This battery saw has plenty of power but 3/4 of on inch is hard on any skill saw. I have used this saw on many products and projects and had no problems this would be a big task I think short runs not long cuts would be fine great saw Thanks

I used it to re-saw a piece of Spanish cedar at almost 3" and it worked fine. The blade is narrow and this is a small saw so stability is not great. You are going to get ripples but overall with a little sanding it was ok.

That would take too long in oak. The tool moves slow through hardwood. You want a jigsaw.

3-1/2" is all you will cut with this saw, maybe 3 5/8". It is a great saw for the price.

I have the larger full table saw and it will take a Frued eight inch, 1/4" to 7/8" dado with ease.

Yes, it can, but very slowly. I found that on the tihicker cuts there is a tendency to push too hard, bending the saw blade. Although the cut would be thicker with a tile saw, that would be a faster way to do it.

depends on the sawblade you use. with the right blade it does cut steel, probably not thicker than 1/8 of an inch. be careful!

Definitely. So far I have used the saw to rip (cut lengthwise) and cross cut edge glued red oak panels greater than 3 1/2". It's a handy little saw.

It can give you a nice cut on any 1/2" piece of wood and 1/3" in softer woods such as redwood or maple. If you have any more questions feel free to call me directly at 407-468-6614. My name is Milena. Thank you

Actually there is a rule along the top. Goes down by the inch wth 1/4 and 1/8" markings. I could cut an 1/8" with mine because it cuts precisely where I want it to.

Is not easy, sorry, including a lineal cut is hard. The saw don't cut with precision.
