Can this machine cut threads?

Absolutely! It can cut both metric and standard threads. The machine can cut 20 different standard threads from 11-40 1/n" and 14 different MM threads from .5mm to 3mm. Daniel 909-594-1245

Yes, but very poorly. It doesn't thread in all the way. Don't buy this product

No, it doesn't have threads but it does have a blade like clamp that might hold onto a thread but if you need something special like that I wouldn't take a change

Hi Deborah. The MC350e can sew with any thread. However if you have large cones, you'll need a thread stand. Let me know if you have any further questions. You can also call us at (949)645-7267. Kind regards,

I would say, no. Even though it is a very handy tool for tight places. It even has to use a special adapter to work on Dremel tools and the thread size is smaller as on the newer Dremel tools. Take a long look before spending the money.

This machine is not made for cutting metal. It can cut shapes out but with different software. The motor is 15000 rpm. It would require very very shallow cuts with alot of passes and the right bit. The other issue would be the software I-Picture. You can purchase other software (like: v-carve pro) or use a free g-code software.

I cut thin metal with scroll saws without a problem. Use the correct blade, go slow with the machine set for high speed and it works great. I've cut carbon fiber, plastic, aluminum, sheet steel, stainless, copper and brass with scroll saws.

Yes you can use regular thread. And you can bring this machine to any sewing store which service sewing machine.

I saw the answers about cutting with a long blade, this may be possible. If you are procuring a tool to do a job you might as well buy the correct tool. I would suggest an oscillating saw such as this one PORTER-CABLE PCE605K 3-Amp Corded Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit with 31 Accessories "I do not particularly endorse the Porter cable exact product" I did have a Porter Cable and it did not last very long. Currently running a Dremel and will see how it lasts."

I say it is possible to mod but you have to be precise and have the right tools not to screw it up. Scissors probably not maybe with a rotary tool.

yes, but you would have to clamp it down. and I wouldn't recommend that for common use. It's just so heavy that a cheaper cutter would be easier in the long run. It also has a problem cutting straight (regardless of how much paper you cut)

Nope. It is simple and easy to thread it yourself though. It accepts any type of thread within reason.

Funny...I purchased it thinking the same thing; that I could cut sections and use; however, that can't be done. It is connected to an electric source; therefore, any cut section would be useless.

It can, for a few snips, but I would recommend 8" bolt cutters for long-term industrial use.

I didn't have to cut mine but by the material that it is made of a simple hacksaw should be able to cut it. It should be simple enough to modify if needed. Hope it does the job for you.

Yep, very easy, thread the pre-cut line through the end of the shaft. No spools. Just takes seconds to replace with new line. The whole machine works great.

Sure you can cut it. I used a little hand saw with a fine tooth blade and it worked fine (takes a little while to cut through the top edge where the round part is).
