Will this work for ripping? Or just right/angle cuts?

Right angle only. They have a rip guide at http://amzn.to/U2MBI8 that looks good. I bought one of them but haven't had a chance to use it. I expect it to work as well as their other products.

It won't work for ripping because it's only 12" long. They sell a rip guide as well, but I haven't purchased it yet

No but look at this... https://www.kregtool.com/store/c48/saw-attachments/p79/rip-cuttrade/

I don't really see the value in using it to rip cut. The unit is only 14" long from base to tip. Also, you need more than 8" in width for the square-cut to sit flat . There are many straight edge jigs that are safer and more practical to use for rip cutting.

no it will do striate cuts 14 inch long flex in the middle on short cut like cutting 2x4 cutting 2x8 its fine

Yes, if you're careful and patient. I used this saw to put together a model train table for my kids and did quite a few flush cuts in the process. I have sliced things as thin as 1/8" using this saw.

Yes.. a horizontal or chop saw would be better if that's what you mostly plan on using it for however..

This tool needs a little surface area on which to rest in order to cut well. Yes, you can use scrap lumber to add that surface area,but that rapidly becomes more effort than using a table saw. Since I mostly use my table saw for rip cuts of less than 2", I wouldn't try to replace my table saw with this tool, but for wide rip cuts and panels / sheet goods, it should work fine.

This saw is best for straight cuts so while it might be useful for preparing blanks for your purpose it might not be suited to even gentle curves. Keep one in your tool collection anyway. New uses will suggest themselves !

I don't know anything about a rip chain but this sharpener is adjustable as to the space between teeth. The angle, however, is set and not adjustable. So, if your sharpen the teetw on a rip chain at the same angle as a cutting saw, I think it would work.

Yes, it won't just blow through it, but it will cut it. If you're cutting a lot of it, a band saw would work better.

Yes I would, This is a combination blade though so there may be better rip only blades but my rip only blade is very course, great for fast ripping but not smooth as this one is

I would not use it as a rip blade on a regular basis. If you have to rip a short piece or two maybe. this is a crosscut blade and will last a lot longer if used as one. use a combination blade or a glue line rip blade for ripping.

It operates along the same lines as one of those long blade paper cutters, and like those, you could possibly use it upright bit it would be very awkward and give suboptimal results. This guy is pretty big and you need one hand to steady the wrap while cutting/sealing and the other to lower the arm.

No, it is not designed for that. It is designed for cross-cutting, not ripping.

I cut sheetrock, 2X4 and a 4X4 --- granted it is probably not the most efficient way to do it ---- I think it should work just fine. The only thing I have not cut with these tool is metal or tile -- but if I get the right blade probably will do it fine.

The saw is built to make cuts of many angles on wood such cas 2X4's. It will not rip a 2X4. So if by,"Straight " you mean an accurate cross cut,the answer is yes .

I've never used it for that purpose, but don' t think it will work. I primarily use it for slicing.
2040651
Yes, I have used it to cut "cards" that I have laminated. Apparently it will cut anything scissors will cut...and much easier and better.

It will work. The rip depth will come down by half an inch. If you want to use it for cutting 18 mm boards then there will be no problem. Any way I will set my 5 1/2" trim saw on the rip cut jig and try it out. I can let you know in a day.

It will rip a 2x4, which would be the max for dimensional lumber. I've ripped wider boards by flipping over after 1 cut then making another cut from the other end. Just make sure to line the cuts up exactly.
